These late Marlin Smiths that are made according to the original Smith designs and parts are just fine shotguns. Relatively speaking since it is a Smith.
They are not as finely finished as Hunter Arms guns. But neither are very late Hunter Arms guns.
All of these marlin made smiths that I have seen have vent ribs.
After they stopped making them from original parts, Marlin started importing guns with the Smith name on them. But these are of a completely different design and I am really not sure if they were or were not serviceable guns or not.
