That's an old Redfield and Western rear sight. Not made by Marbles, but by Redfield. They were made for numerous guns. The semi-buckhorn was the model 41, and the full buckhorn was the model 42. The catalogs used a code letter after the number to designate the gun maker, such as 42-R for Remington. ...

Is anyone really surprised that the liberal media would twist the results to mean whatever they wanted? This is typical of the kind of lowlife journalism that ABC and all the other network news liberals do.
Nothing new here!

:) I've had too many times of coming home with another new toy and no money... The success was in getting the money, getting home and handing my lovely wife all the money. So next time when I do come home with something else I don't need, there won't be any muss or fuss. Just an "Ok honey"...

After I quit I got a PM saying I was trying to tell Bill how to run his site, and that I was "part of the problem"! Now I'm not sure how my resignation because they instituted this antigun policy got from a simple resignation to me telling him how to run the site, or being "part of th...

Gun free zones should really be called "killing zones", as the nut cases know there wont be any resistance to their crazy plans. How many times have you heard of a nut case going into a gun shop and shooting it up? They don't because they know what MIGHT happen. It's the fear of what might...

Just clean it well, oil it with some Kroil, and check that loading gate screw to ensure it's snug. Should be good to go Joe!

Looks like they're quite similar in appearance, with similar length barrels, and straight grip stocks. Nice collection of .22 levers.

marlinman93

My initial attraction was to the caliber, as I really like the .32-20, but my other two are both 4 3/4", which I also love! Not sure I'd have ordered one with a 7 1/2" barrel, but at the price I couldn't pass on it. Not planning on competitive shooting, but I wouldn't mind doing some work ...

Unfortunately that seems to be the trend Mike. And also it seems that the more outrageous the internet "asking" prices get, the more the store and gun show prics seem to rise (for the same type junk). Not sure if there's an end in sight either, as I once thought there maight be. The longer...

Got a great deal on a Cimmaron Uberti SAA today in .32-20 caliber. I figured I wanted it as I've got other SAA's in .45 Colt, and .38 Special. This one is the only Uberti, as the others are AWA and a Great Western from the 1950's. Anyone had any experience with the Cimmarons in .32-20 yet? Mine is a...

Not sure if it could be "well planned" as they may or may not have known they would stop in Kansas City, Ms. before heading home. They could have just as easily driven right back to Montana after the show closed. I think someone knew the show was over and saw the truck in the parking lot. ...

Thanks again Jeremy!

It seems to me that it was driven strictly by money. I'd rather see the site end than to cow-tow to those who are happy to take GB's money as long as they play by their rules! Especially when there are no laws being broken! Consequently, I have just turned in my resignation as a moderator and member...

I owned a Olympic AR15 HBAR, and it was a fantastic gun, that functioned reliably, and shot extremely accurate. It now belongs to my nephew, who is also tickled with it.
If your Oly wont function well, simply send it back to the factory. Afterall, they are LIFETIME guaranteed!

Help!!!! I told somebody I would assemble the mag tube for their 1892 Marlin in .32, and I have it done, but this person (Mr Pollard) did not send his email address with the box of parts. If this is you, please email me at: marlinguy@juno.com I have it done, and I have your mailing address, but need...

Thanks Griff! We're trying to play nice together!

marlinman93

I'd take the .30-30 myself.

marlinman93

Like Winchester, Marlin used a tint, but I think it was in the varnish, not in the stain. I use chromium trioxide to tint my wood when refinishing, because I can control how dark it gets at the same time. CT is not for the faint at heart, as it's pretty hot stuff, and if not used correctly it can tu...

I'll take the .32-40 bullets! Sent you an email!-Vall

You're really getting a nice collection of old Marlins Ken!

marlinman93

Joe, I don't know of a source for fitted small style forearms and buttstocks, except semi-inletted, which would be more work than thinning your's down. You could find some older non checkered stock sets on Ebay, then take them down to fit flush with the metal on your gun and refinish them. I've done...

marlinman93

I'm positive it's been cut. The measurement from end of muzzle to center of the sight dovetail is always almost exactly 1". This gun's front sight dovetail is too close to the crown. Additionall, the mag tube dovetails never line up with front sight dovetails, as that would really weaken the ba...

marlinman93

Have you contacted RCBS? I bet you'd be surprised what they do!

marlinman93

I can only second what Ken said. I use nothing but smokeless in my old Marlins and Ballards, but with loads in low velocity-low pressure ranges and cast bullets. There was no metallurgy, other than seat of the pants experience back then, but that was very good. These old guns probably haven't seen b...

The 1888 Marlin looks very much like the later 1892 Winchester. I've often had someone ask me why I have a 1892 Win. on my table when I display my 1888. Of course it's always someone who's not a bigtime Win. or Marlin fan that asks that question. The 1888 was not offered in .25-20, and the 1889 only...

marlinman93

Now I've seen it all! Guess that's a real time saver if you chop the barrel and don't want to have another dovetail cut!

marlinman93

Yes I think th newer carriers seem a bit more meaty, but the rest of the parts seem about right. I've installed newer breechbolts into old guns that were missing them, and they work great. Of course the caliber is specific, so a .38-40 or .44-40 will need to use a newer .44 breechbolt, and the small...

marlinman93

Sorry, I've got three of them in pistol grip; two originals, and one new semi inletted, but no straight grips.

marlinman93

Thanks guys!-Vall

marlinman93

Hi Joe, Lots of parts interchange between the two, but the new ones having a coil spring, vs. flat mainspring make the mainsprings and hammer not interchangeable. The screws will interchange, plus the bolt assembly, and carrier. Lower trigger plates will need to be d7t for the mainspring to go old, ...

marlinman93

Straight or pistol grip? New semi inletted, or used?

marlinman93

That's a wonderful testimony in today's world! Service like that deserves to be shared!

I've only been to one, since they are usually too far away, but it was the best gun related experience I've ever had! Truly something everyone who loves firearms and shooting should see if they can!

marlinman93

Got a very nice #3 Ballard today. Actually got it a couple weeks ago, but it arrived today! The #3 Ballards were made in .22 short, long, LR, and .25 Stevens RF. This one is a .25 Stevens, so it wont see much shooting time, as ammo is tough to find! Anyway it's been very well cared for, and has the ...

The softer the better Griff, as it will harden when heated to weld. I use coat hanger with good results, but mild steel with a TIG works well.
If you're gping to use rod as in a stick welder, I'd advise rethinking it. Best to TIG weld it.-Vall

No way!!!! There's already too much competition there. I pass by there often when going to one of my clients, and I never do so without stopping. He sold a mint 71 Winchester just before I bought this 336. It went for $1100. I've probably bought a dozen guns from him over the last 5-6 years. All gre...

marlinman93

Last week this same dealer had a mint 1967 336 Texan in .30-30, and I called my buddy who bought it for the same $219 price! He had both guns tagged as "336 Marlin" with no reference to the ADL or T suffixes. I don't think he knows collectable Marlins.

marlinman93

I agree OI! I've got a real story to tell that saved my wife and I, but I wont tell it to ABC without knowing Stossell would have such control.

marlinman93

Nice looking gun! The case colors look like the genuine article too! Did you order this one new, or find a deal somewhere on this one? Sure looks like new!

marlinman93

Picked up this 336A-DL Sat. on the way home from the gun club. It's a .30-30 from 1951, and dealer let me have it for $219 out the door! It's the first 336A-DL I've seen for sale around these parts.
