The receiver top is grooved to accept standard rimfire scope mounts. One detachable box magazine with a red follower is included. Verbatim barrel markings include THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO. NORTH HAVEN, CT. U.S.A. MODEL 70 MICRO-GROOVE BARREL CAL. 22 L.R. ONLY, along with a stamped JM proof mark on the left side near the receiver. The left side of the receiver is stamped with serial number 15492925. A safety warning is also present on the barrel. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The blued finish on the barrel and receiver shows moderate wear throughout, characterized by thinning and silvering on the receiver edges and the charging handle. Scattered light surface oxidation is present on the barrel exterior and the included magazine. The hardwood stock is in good condition, exhibiting various small scratches and light pressure dents consistent with field use. The bore is bright with well-defined Micro-Groove rifling. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
