Productive day with a Marlin and two snakes
Lousy weather today, started snowing at 0630 and still coming down.
So I stayed in and got some outstanding work done. Stripped and cleaned my King Cobra and Anaconda (W296, H2400 and Unique all seem to burn a bit dirty) and did a trigger job on an old Marlin 27-S I inherited. Capped the day off reloading for our silhouette match on Sunday.
That Marlin pump is a hoot to shoot.

I am not sure, they were given to me by a fellow shooter.

Nice ones what ever they are, and your guns are beauties.

Re: Productive day with a Marlin and two snakes
Hey Pete,
On your Marlin, does the action lock up when the hammer is back and is in firing mode? I had one of the first ones made and very time I shot it, the bolt would come back on its on if I was not holding the forend real tight, especially with warm loads. Bothered me a bit.
Nice snakes. In my opinion, Colt makes the smoothest double actions.----6

Re: Productive day with a Marlin and two snakes
I just got my first pump rifle last year - a Remington Model 25 in 32-20 . . . I'm curious as to whether the Marlin ones load the same way (directly into the tube from the right side).

Yes six, it locks up real good, if the hammer is back and you need to unload it you have to ease the hammer down first.
I really like my Colt double actions and that Anaconda will swallow anything you feed it

The outter tube slides up to load the Marlin where the Rem has a little hinged gate. If you want to open the action on the Marlin press the fireing pin in with your thumb nail and it will unlock the action.

Biggest walk away regret was a Marlin 27S in 25-20. Still watching for another. I spent the day cleaning three Winchester Model 1906's.

Re: Productive day with a Marlin and two snakes
Very cool! I picked up a Remington Model 25 in .32-20 after snoozing and losing the one Doc picked up from Sixgun. What a fun little gun!!!Borregos wrote:Yes doc, they load the same way, directly into the tube on the right side, that Marlin pump is a real fun gun to shoot.AJMD429 wrote:I just got my first pump rifle last year - a Remington Model 25 in 32-20 . . .
