March 1, 2005 -- A new self-loader chambered for the super-accurate 17 Mach 2 ammo will be available in the Spring of 2005. The Model 717M2 features an 18-inch barrel, 7-shot Marlin
magazine, and a laminated hardwood stock.
A new version of the Model 917VS bolt action 17 HMR rifle is also being offered. Designated the Model 917VSF, it is the first Marlin rifle ever offered with a fluted barrel. The 22"
stainless varmint barrel has six flutes, which reduce weight and dissipate heat. The 917VSF has a black/grey laminated stock with a rubber rifle butt pad and swivel studs.
The Marlin Model 1894CL in 32-20 Win. will once again be part of the Marlin line. It features a 22" barrel and half magazine tube, which holds six rounds. The straight grip stock is
crafted from American walnut and is handsomely checkered.
Marlin is also bringing back one of its famous old brand names: L.C. Smith. Four new imported shotguns will be offered with the famous L.C. Smith shotgun brand name. A 12- gauge
side-by-side shotgun and a 20-gauge side-by-side shotgun, both with false side plates reminiscent of the original L.C. Smith guns. Both models feature single triggers, selective automatic
ejectors, and checkered walnut stocks with recoil pads. The receivers are tastefully engraved. The 12-gauge has 28" barrels, while the 20-gauge has 26" barrels. Both models have solid
ribs and three choke tubes.
A pair of over-and-unders are also being offered with the L.C. Smith brand name. Both the 12- and the 20-gauge have single selective triggers, and selective automatic ejectors. The
12-gauge has 28-inch barrels with a ventilated rib and three choke tubes. The 20 gauge has 26-inch barrels, a vent rib and three choke tubes. Both models have checkered walnut stocks with
recoil pads.
