Lot 435:
Description
This lot features a Marlin Model 25N bolt action rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed for versatile recreational shooting and small game hunting. The rifle is equipped with a 22 inch blued steel Micro-Groove barrel, a hallmark of Marlin’s accuracy, which remains in attractive condition. The blued receiver is mounted with a smooth, one-piece hardwood stock that terminates in a black synthetic buttplate embossed with the Marlin script. For aiming, the rifle retains its original hooded front sight and adjustable rear leaf sight, and it is further enhanced with a Japanese-made Jason 4×32 Waterproof Model 955 optic secured by two-piece rings. The left side of the barrel is verbatim marked THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO. NORTH HAVEN, CT. U.S.A. / MODEL 25N MICRO-GROOVE BARREL CAL. 22 L.R. ONLY, while the right side carries the standard safety warning. A JM proof mark is clearly struck on the left side of the barrel near the receiver junction. The receiver displays the serial number 07618125. The rifle is accompanied by one detachable 7-round box magazine featuring a high-visibility red polymer follower. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The rifle presents in very good overall condition. The blued finish on the barrel and receiver is largely intact, showing only light surface wear and minimal thinning at the muzzle. The hardwood stock is structurally sound with a smooth finish, exhibiting minor handling marks and faint impressions consistent with light field use. The bore is bright with sharp, distinct Micro-Groove rifling. The bolt action appears to function smoothly, and the safety engages correctly; however, the firearm has not been test-fired. The Jason optic remains clear with a sharp reticle. The magazine shows light finish wear but is mechanically functional.
