Before You
Use This Firearm
It is very important that you read
and understand this manual
before using your firearm.
Warnings should be read and
heeded carefully. Also follow
“Marlin's Guide to Gun Safety,”
printed in this manual.
• WARNING: Marlin firearms are
designed and manufactured to
handle standard factory-loaded
ammunition which conforms to
SAAMI (Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers’
Institute Inc.) standards with
dependability and safety. Due
to the many bullet and load
options available, the element
of judgement involved, the skill
required, and the fact that seri-
ous injuries have resulted from
dangerous handloads, Marlin
does not make any recommen-
dations with regard to hand-
loaded ammunition.
•WARNING: It is a violation of
federal law to alter or deface
the serial number of any
firearm.
Use of the
Offset Hammer Spur
• WARNING: Only use the offset
hammer spur on the gun with
which it was packed. It will not
fasten securely on narrower
(
1
⁄4") Marlin or Glenfield ham-
mers, or other hammers, and
could cause a dangerous situ-
ation.
Because of its solid top, side
ejecting receiver, your rifle is ide-
ally suited for use with a scope.
The receiver is drilled and
tapped for scope mounting.
However, once mounted, most
scope and mount combinations
do not allow sufficient clearance
for your thumb between the eye-
piece and hammer for safe oper-
ation. In order to operate the
hammer safely, we recommend
that you use the offset hammer
spur packed with your rifle, when
using a scope. A
1
⁄16" hexagonal
wrench for attaching the spur is
also included.
For right hand use, position the
offset hammer spur so that it
protrudes from the right side of
