Unit 2 is a Marlin Model 99C marked “THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO., NORTH HAVEN, CONN., U.S.A. / MODEL 99C MICRO-GROOVE BARREL CAL. 22 L.R. ONLY” with serial number 72277826 and a “JM” proof mark on the barrel. Unit 3 is a second Marlin Model 60 with serial number 15457324, barrel markings identical to Unit 1, a “JM” proof, and internal receiver markings “107060” and “C4 A”. These units are incomplete parts guns and are missing stocks, trigger groups, bolts, charging handles, and magazine tubes. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The barrels retain a fair amount of original blued finish with scattered light surface wear, handling marks, and minor thinning toward the muzzles. The alloy receivers show significant finish loss and edge wear, particularly along the integrated scope rails and undersides, revealing the underlying silver-toned metal. The Micro-Groove rifling appears generally well-defined in the bores, though they have not been thoroughly cleaned or inspected with a borescope. Mechanical function has not been tested as the units are incomplete and lack internal cycling components.
