Gun Porn: The Original Marlin Goose Gun

It's not every day that you see a detachable box magazine-fed bolt-action 12 gauge shotgun with a 3-foot barrel. I have been around guns since before it was a good idea for a child so young to be handling them unsupervised, and I had never until this day been exposed to such a thing.

As always, click any image to see a somewhat better version.

It's in good cosmetic condition overall



The stock really looks nice when it's rubbed with oil, from a few feet away. Figured, even.



This was a field gun. It shows honest wear from use, and has the "bonus feature" of either unscrewed or ripped-out sling swivel stud holes.





The action operates pretty smoothly, as one would expect of a working piece. The cocking indicator is a nice touch. Bolt action. Huh! A FAT bolt action.



With a detachable box. A FAT detachable box. Ooookay. Remember the scale: 3-plus inches long by over an inch wide. Three rounds of 2-3/4" 12 gauge.



Well, at least the business end is in good condition.



The one, the only, the ORIGINAL . . .
