I. I’m
going to venture to say that this is probably the rarest, most awesome, most
desirable Marlin Camp 45 you’ve ever seen—that you’ve been long waiting for!
And, it is “As New”, unfired, in the factory box! The Consignor stated the gun
was never fired since new or after customizations were completed—and upon my
inspections, I believe this to be absolutely true! This one-of-a-kind carbine
is truly a great value—and well worth the money! Get prices on all this (if you
can), add it up—then take a close look!
II. The Camp
models last to be made (“Deluxe”) had upgraded wood stocks with checkering,
heavier bolt handles, and a manual hold-open, etc. If you look closely at other
Camp guns you’ll see the differences. Photo 43 (in “Large Photos”) is for
reference to show the old style bolt-handle. Included with this one-of-a-kind
creation, is the original factory 7rd stainless steel magazine. And everything
you see in the photos is included, except for the gold-trimmed Choate stock. It
will be available to the buyer of this auction for $150 by separate auction.
The last photos (44-49) of this stock (in “Large Photos”) are just for your
reference.
III. Most
of you shopping for a Camp gun already know all about them so I’ve removed them
from this description to tidy things up. For those who don't know everything,
check out the brochure photos (41-42) in our “Large Photos” or click on our
link: Camp Guns Info. This link
also has a lot of stuff about C-MORE sights.
IV. Now about the
dot size of the sight: The owner lost his paperwork and could not remember what
it is, but we both estimate it to be between 4-6 MOA. I tried and tried to take
a photo, but could not get a discernable one. I know our estimate is accurate.
If you’ve never looked through one of these sights, you won’t believe how super
bright they can be adjusted to! From a low-light indoor range to the intense
light of the high desert, the adjustable light sensor ensures that it's at home
in any environment.
V. Now, let’s
talk about the rich, polished plating. The following is a direct quote from the
owner’s written consignment description—you gotta read this:
“Traditional gunsmiths are virtually never
knowledgeable about plating. Conversely, platers rarely know squat about
smithing! I am both an accomplished plater and gunsmith—a very rare, if not
totally unique combination. Parts have to be precisely prepared just so, in
order to apply the desired thickness of plate, and have them fit properly—and
tiny parts are really a bitch to do! So much of the plating I’ve seen
(especially gold), on hundreds of various factory (and other custom) guns, was
really pathetic. The deficient plating is typically very thin, without the
proper base metals underneath the gold. Also, some, maybe all plating companies
tend to be real tightwads when it comes to their gold usage. You tell them you
want heavy plating, they’ll charge you for it—but will still give you as little
as they can get by with! To a lei person (or unknowledgeable gunsmith), a
really thin layer of gold (with improper foundation) looks similar to a really
decent one. The 24kt gold plating on this gun is substantial and was liberally
applied by me personally at a large, high-tech facility—it will last a
lifetime! If you took your sight, gun, etc., into most any gunsmith, or the
parts into any plating company, you would absolutely never get the
ultra-quality plating this gun and sight have!!!”
VI. Ok,
after all that, let’s get to condition:
The photos do a better job of depicting overall condition than I can
with words. This gun is absolutely like new—there is virtually no detectable
wear anywhere! Even the butt-pad is pristine. Normally the stocks that you see
on these guns are plain birch without grain patterns. This one has some slight,
but appealing visual patterns that nicely reflect light depending on the angles
you hold it. I didn’t try to capture them in the photos, but some will show
you, anyway. I’m conservatively rating this package between “New Old Stock
(NOS), As New or Like New” and “Factory New (NIB)” (see our “Firearm Standards”
link under the “Additional Terms of Sale” tab above).
VII. I know my
close-up photos sometimes bite me in the ass, but I really want people to see
what they’re buying! Hell, you wouldn’t see this much detail if you were
looking at one in a shop! I use intense lighting that can give some parts a
kind-of "grainy" texture—but, they truly don’t look that way with the
naked eye! Again, close-ups biting my butt! Also, there may be some lint,
microscopic dust, and a few hairs (probably my shop-dog’s hairs) in the
close-ups—they’re not scratches, etc. There may also be a little discoloration
in one or more photos because I keep parts wiped down with a KleenBore silicone
gun cloth.
VIII. This
like-new, near-new, as-new, Deluxe, Marlin Camp 45, with 24kt gold trimmed
perfection—is a much better-than-average value! And if you like nice wood
stocks on your close-quarter-combat (CQC) guns, the Camp guns are the only game
in town! There may be one of more miniscule, ultra-slight imperfections (that
most likely came from the factory), but this exquisite carbine is (I think) in
collector-quality condition! It’s too nice to shoot—but too fun not to! Yes,
the Camp guns are a whole lot of fun to shoot and make excellent
Close-Quarter-Combat, family defense guns! It’s certainly a must-have addition
to anyone's (shooting or non-shooting) collection! The Consignor said he just
wants to make more room in his safe for new stuff...I'd get a bigger safe!
Don’t let this one go—to someone else!
IX. Note
About Consignors: I know most of you
will just ignore this like I’m talking to a wall, but it remains a
fact—Consignors can be a fickle bunch when it comes to selling their stuff.
Hell, I’ve had them read my (wonderful) descriptions and become re-sold on
their items! At any time, if there are no bids, the Consignors can tell
me to raise prices or even cancel the auctions! Believe me, I do this way more
often than I’d like to. However, as soon as there is a bid, the auctions can’t
be stopped, and someone (like you) is going to get that/this gun, etc.! So (if
you haven’t guessed it) the moral of this short-story is once you’ve made the
decision to buy—don’t wait until the last minute to bid. Now, if you’ve read
this far, you know you want it—so bid! Thanks. .
