Restoring Seized up 1910 Marlin Lever action .22 M1897 (with test firing).

#restoration #gunrestoration

Here is another flood project from Florida. This old Marlin model 1897 lever action .22 was subject to flood waters in florida. I do not know how long it was in the flood but considering the condition it was weeks or longer. This is one of the many models Marlin produced from the late 1800's up until 1922. The Model 1897 was the last lever action .22 model they designed. Marlin is still in business with Sturm Ruger as Co-owner but hey now focus on producing bolt, slide, and lever action rifles. I hope you enjoy the video and consider subscribing. As always thanks for watching!
