The Marlin Bullseye

[BrentD]

I dimly recall seeing a place that sold reproduction or original manufactured black and white bullseyes for marlin rifles. This is the small plastic button inlayed into the bottom edge of a Mid 20th Century Marlin rifle. A friend lost one last weekend.

If anyone knows of a source, I would like to pass it on to him.

Tons available. Each blank is good for 3 rifles.

I have purchased them from Marlin in the past. I believe the Gun Garage in Arkansas sells them. Ask for Al. 1886.

Marlin replacement bullseye's are $3 @ Brownell's - and like all replacements, must be glued in prior to being cut/filed down to the stock contour.

I place masking tape around the site, before working on one - to protect the wood & prevent a refinishing.

It's been a few years, but the last time I asked Marlin about getting a couple they sent them to me promptly, no charge. May be different now that Remington is in charge.

I saw a homemade replacement that was really cool. A very white wood, with a tiny dowel of very black wood was crafted, and finished. I might have seen it on this site many moons ago...Maybe the old Marlin site....

Isn't that the thing through which you are supposed to screw a big, ugly sling swivel at a grotesque angle?


I just saw them recently, must be at Brownells.
I replaced one recently with brass. I found a punch that fit and cut off the end. Put initials on it.

While that's the correct location for Bubba Jr, the bullseye is the Marlin logo, so the brand can be picked out @ a glance, and not for swivel installation - which is properly closer to the end of the buttstock than where where Marlin installed the bullseye.

Marlin Bullseye is a trademark registered to Marlin.

BlaineG , That may have been me. I made one out of Holy and Ebony some years back.
I bought a couple too. They (factory replacement ones) are long enough for 2 or 3 as said above.
