Re: Model 1893 Barrel Markings
Guys, I thought I learned something new recently about the 1893 barrels but this thread is causeing me to requestion it. I had always assumed that the early unmarked barrels were softer steel than the later barrels because they werent marked. Then a recent post on Marlin Owners got me looking into B...

Re: Fitting a cresent butt plate
I just found this, Jim, your an artist! I have a favor I'd like to ask, check your PM when you have a chance! On another note, the 308 bore surprises me on newer guns. Are the recent Marlin 1894CL's like that? I'd think we would hear about it if they were. Anyway, my 32/20 does excellent with .312 o...

Re: 1889 .32/20 rehab...
You can use current production 1894 screws except for the tang screw. The tang screw you can get from Wisners, its the same as a 1893 or 1894.
Marlin, Numrich or Brownells should have a spring for the magazine.
Theyre great guns & 32/20 is a fun one to shoot! Congrats!

Re: The Marlin CEO, On The Bullseye Rumor
Pete, Tomray's not the CEO. He's just an engineer that works there. *beep* of a nice guy if you ever have the pleasure of meeting him & I wish he was the CEO as him & I get together a coupla times a year, but he's npt. I get the impression he is a sort of production engineer involved lately ...

Re: New here with an old 1894
OK, I tried the vinegar/HP solution and while it got out more of the fouling, it's still really bad. I may send the barrel off for relining. Probably the best bet. One place I found for part is Numrich Gun Parts (http://www.e-gunparts.com) Does anybody have any experiance with them? Yup, when they ...

Re: 32-20 accuracy problem
Dangit thats a pretty gun Jim! I love that pistol grip! I, like jdad, have been useing laser cast .313" 115 grain bullets with great sucess. Before that I used a few dozen I think were Miester .312 115 gr & they were fine too. Never have tried soft lead in it yet. Mine likes Hornady XTP's t...

Re: refinishing a 1893
I could be wrong but I dont think the screws were ever cased with the reciever. I never saw cased screws & would think they might be brittle. They might have nitre blued the screws & your right, the barrels were rust blued. I think the screws & loading spring, barrel, tube, barrel bands ...

Re: Model 1894 carrier rocker spring variations
None of my 1889's have any spring & neither does my only old 1894.
They all have the same carrier/rocker setup where the back is wide open, I dont see how or where a spring would sit. My newer 94's are very similar looking to a short 336 lifter & have a spring.

Re: Making a Marlin 1889 Split Trigger Spring
You sure it wasn't cut? The only unbusted one I ever saw was full length.
