This video delves into the history and specifics of the Marlin 1897 Bicycle Rifle, an uncommon variant of the popular 1892 lever-action rimfire rifle. While the standard 1897 featured longer barrels, the Bicycle Rifle was designed with a shorter 16-inch barrel and a full-length magazine tube. This configuration allowed it to be disassembled and stored in a special case beneath a bicycle frame, facilitating young shooters in transporting their rifles. Despite the general popularity of the 1897 model, the Bicycle Rifle variant saw very limited production, with only 197 units sold. The description also notes the lineage to the later Model 39.
