Marlin 62 .256 Mag. Price Drop
SPF
In the mid 1950s, Marlin began experimenting with modernizing levergun design. In 1956, they introduced the Model 56, the first of an entirely new class of Marlin leverguns. These rifles had a very short 2" lever-throw, allowing for very speedy reloading, and were named the Marlin "Levermatic". The Model 56 was chambered for the .22 Long Rifle, and was fed with a box-magazine. Shortly thereafter, a tubular magazine version was introduced (named the Model 57), along with the Model 57 Magnum, chambered in the .22 Magnum round. Winchester was making news with its sleek, new Model 88, chambered in hunting rounds like the .308 Winchester, and in 1962 Marlin entered the centerfire market with a version of it Levermatic, tailored for short centerfire rounds. Thus was born the centerfire Model 62, chambered in .357 Magnum, .256 Winchester Magnum, and .22 Remington Jet (and later on in .30 Carbine). The Marlin Levermatics were not popular sellers and were dropped from production by 1973.
Up for sale is an early model 62 {No serial No.}. Along with it is 142 loaded rnds. ,42 once fired brass,m and 2 mags, and scope base.
Trade interest: Marlin leverguns/.22 mag., quality revolver in .38/.357 4" barrel, good .270 bolt gun, Big bore BP single shot cartridge rifle, ammo, or $550 cash. Offers accepted
