No. Later (and current) Model 94's have a rebounding hammer.
The Marlin model 24 shotgun was produced by Marlin from 1908-1915.
Marlin Firearms
A ball-peen hammer is applied to shape metal .
If your pump 12 ga. has an exposed hammer, it's most likely a model 1898, as all later models of exposed hammer Marlin shotguns had the model marked on the upper tang behind the trigger. If it is not an exposed hammer, then the model designation is on the bottom, where the receiver meets the mag tube.
I have a mod. 336 30/30 that confirmed serial through Marlin Firearms. The serial located on tang directly under hammer.
Use a hammer but it will not be easy.
it depends on its caliber.
Model 49, 3000 made form 1925 to 1928 only
This is called "blanking the end." In curling, whichever team scores gives the "hammer" (the advantage of having the last shot) to the other team for the next end. If no one scores ("blank end"), the team that has the hammer keeps it for the next end. If the team with the hammer has a choice of whether to score 1 point and give up the hammer, or blank the end and keep the hammer, they will usually purposely blank the end, carry the hammer to the next end, and to try to score more than one point in the next end.

We may have a failure to communicate. Almost ALL .22s are rifles, not shotguns (there ARE a very few .22 shotguns, but are quite scarce) And Marlin made several dozen different model .22 rifles. Which model? Bolt action, lever action, semi auto, pump? My Marlin 39A rifle, which has an exposed, external hammer (most are internal) moves through an arc of about an inch.
