Does anyone know how many of the Browning 71 Rifle/Carbine matched sets were produced or when they were produced? Both guns have the same serial numbers with one containing a "C" for carbine and the other an "R" for rifle. Were they available in High Grade as well as Grade 1? Tha...

I found this petition linked on another gun board. It was initiated by U.S. Congressman Eric Cantor and pertains to the case currently being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. We need all the help we can get. www.savethesecond.com/thanks.asp Please forgive the off topic nature of this post. Thank...

Mike-in-WV said: Have had things like this happen before and for a custom fit I use Valve Grinding or lapping compound in the slot and work the ejector back and forth until it rides smoothly. Then clean it out well and ad some Lithium grease and see how it works. That's exactly what I wanted to do.....

If I would have had a little more time, or patience, :roll: I would have liked to have taken some depth measurments of the slots in the two bolts to compare them. But then you'd also have to measure the depth of the slot in the receiver inside wall I suppose to try and figure out where the differenc...

Yeah, I had reservations about it also. I didn't remove nearly enough metal to do any irreparable damage. I quit way before then. I've functioned tested both rifles today and they both seem fine. Still wonder why the dang thing worked so smoothly in one rifle and not really at all in the other one. :?

Well, I said I'd post an update when I had one, so...here it is. I'm more confused now than I was when I started. I pulled the bolt back out of the .44 Marlin tonight and (upon the advice of WWG) tried to deepen the slot that the ejector rides in just enough to loosen the action back up to a reasona...

Update:

I got an e-mail reply back from WWGs this morning. He said to lightly (and lightly was emphasized about 8 times ) stone the slot that the ejector rides in. I don't have time to do it before work tonight, but when I do, I'll let you know how it turns out.

I know...there's a million (or more :D ) Marlins out there that have never had an ejector failure. But...mine failed and locked the rifle's action up when it did. It wasn't in a hunting situation, but it ruined an afternoon of shooting just the same. It failed like I imagine most of them fail...whil...

Thanks for the replies fellas! I sent an e-mail to WWG asking for their opinion also. I'll wait to hear from them and see what they say. I guess I could try to bend the leg a little bit and loosen it up, but it is brand new and I'd hate to screw up a $25 :shock: ejector by getting a little over anxi...

Hi Fellas, First post on the new forum. I asked you guys for any opinions, good or bad, about WWG's Bear Proof ejector a couple of months ago. The ejector in my Marlin 1894P had broken and locked up the action. After reading your replies, I elected to go ahead with the purchase of the Bear Proof eje...
