Vintage rifle: Marlin 57 "Levermatic"

(Click the "CC" button to turn on captions & subtitles) This Marlin 57 "Levermatic," on loan from a neighbor, is a tube fed rifle with an innovative short-throw (accelerated) lever action. Only about 34,000 were produced from 1959 to 1964. The trigger pull is much too heavy by today's standards yet it's surprisingly crisp & clean. No company sponsored this video.
