Marlin rifle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A
Marlin rifle refures to any rifle manufactured by the Marlin Firearms Company. Types of marlin rifles include:
- The modle 1889 repeating rifle (featuring the 'Marlin Safety', the first side-ejecting cartridge mechanism)
- The 1895 Military Repeator
The marlin firearms company was the brain-child of John Mahlon Marlin, who founded the company in 1870, in
New Haven, Connecticut. In the company's over 100 years of firearms production, they have also made shot guns, that in many cases are the prized possessions in personal gun collections (many of which have been featured in such hollywood movies as
The Terminator and its sequals).
