I agree, NSL....In my long-term, but still limited collecting experience (and bad memory = disclaimer!), every Marlin barrel that I've seen on a factory-original carbine has been a blue/black color. Decades ago, the Garand collectors discussed a limited-production run of Marlin barrels for the M1 Rifle during WWII. They too were blue/black oxide, and were appropriately called "Blue Marlins" by Mr. Garand's inner circle.
If you are interested in learning more about those, PM me and I'll give you Billy Pyle's email address. Regards, Marty Black |
