I've recently acquired a Marlin model 80E (original vintage 1934-35) and a model 81, which appears to be nearly new/unfired. The 80E needed a little "cleaning up" and refinishing, and I added an original 12R peep sight to it (which was missing). The 81 was clean as a whistle, just needed a wipe down with an oil finish. From what I have read, the 81 was only made from 1937-1940. After that, it was the 81D or 81DL in the late 40's and beyond.
I haven't test fired either one yet and have heard that the 80 has a bit of a stiff trigger pull. Any input from you fans out there?
