Re: when a marlin was a marlin
Marlins are still good serviceable guns but......you have to be somewhat gun inclined to work out the bugs. I consider most any levergun made after the introduction of castings and "non human fitting" to be problematic.

Re: when a marlin was a marlin
Yep, there is a reason we have named "Marlin jam#1" and "Marlin jam#2" problems long recognized and fixes figured out. My first Marlin with "jam#1" problem was a 1950 336A which is now my favorite levergun, and the next was a 1985 model that I fixed and gave to a grandkid. Same problem, same fix.Sixgun wrote:Marlins are still good serviceable guns but......you have to be somewhat gun inclined to work out the bugs.

I like Marlins, but let us not pretend that all was perfect back there in JM days.

Re: when a marlin was a marlin
well after a tare down and a new lifter its up and running again ,just shot it in.I WILL SEE BY THE POST HOW LONG THAT TOOK TO FIGURE OUT AND FIX IT.took some pictures but to tired to fight photo bucket now.post later.
I had to show him the old side mount trick of turning the scope up side down to make the brass eject and not hit the adjustment cap.He was i awe of that 1.I said you learn as you go as i did 20 years ago with my first side mount.I should have shut up he was giving me the redfield 4x scope free till i showed him that.
4 hrs for $60 and a discount on the next gun he sells me was ok in my book.And he sells me a lot of guns. 2 or more a month most times.

Re: when a marlin was a marlin
Johnny W,
I like the little bulls eye in the stock. Does Marlin still have that?
My old Marlin pump 12 gauge has the little bulls eye too.

Re: when a marlin was a marlin
In the new Rifle Magazine, there's an article by Brian Pearce on the new Marlins and the problems they experienced after the move from Ct to Ny.
Drum roll please..........bop..bop..bop.... Marlin has gone back to the FORGED LIFTER.....first time since '78! These new guns look very nice but.........what a shytty look where the forearm meets the receiver....a big clunk of wood that comes to an abrupt end and hangs at least 1/8" higher than the steel.----6

Re: when a marlin was a marlin
I find it humorous as time goes by to see people's opinions on "old guns". I remember when most guys didn't want a Marlin CF with a round bolt, like the 336. Or when they didn't want a Marlin .22LR with a blued receiver. Some didn't even want a Marlin built after WWI!
Now with Marlins various issues, and the eventual sale to Remington, guys have a completely new set of cutoff dates, and styles they regard as special or better. When I see newer guns now fetching crazy high prices, it makes me chuckle. I remember not that many years ago when a 60's 336 or 39a was always under $200 in very nice shape!

Re: when a marlin was a marlin
I think if GK or Nath saw that one stock, they may accidently shoot it! Very nice 3-D carving of a squirrel!
