Nice old Marlin lever action eastern carbine 30-30. Shoots great. Still has alot of case hardened finish left.

"Marlin Safety" top receiver marking, a 20-inch round barrel with a metal barrel band, and a metal carbine buttplate.The Character: A working-man's vintage modification featuring a professionally filled dual-dovetail rear sight setup

The "Star" Tang Stamp: This inspector's mark adds a distinct premium. Collectors seek out Star" models because they represent a documented, narrow era of high-tier quality control (1922–1926).The Eastern Carbine Setup: Original 20-inch round-barrel carbines with intact factory metal barrel bands and metal buttplates generally fetch higher demand than standard, heavy 26-inch sporting rifles due to their balanced handling and historical use by brush-country hunters."Marlin Safety" Receiver: The traditional deep-script roll stamp on the receiver top is highly desirable compared to later 1930s models that lacked it.
