Re: Black powder loads for your levers- 45-70
I use either windage front globes, or Soule type rear vernier sights on all my single shots, but on my old Marlin lever actions I don't use any windage adjustable sights. I simply drift the front sight either way to get them zeroed in and don't change them ever after that. No reason for most shootin...

Re: Need help?
Can you give us the info stamped on the barrel so we are sure which model it is for the year?
Can't give you a value without some very good pictures.

Re: Needing parts
Have you checked Numrich Gun Parts? Or check Ebay also as some parts show there fairly often too.

Re: Marlin 32 special

Your Model '93 was made after WWI, but no records exist for this time period, so in order to narrow it down any further we need much more info! Wh...

Re: Where to buy an 1891 firing pin
Some years back a friend broke his lever latch spring on his 1881 and told me he used a cartridge guide spring off a Model 39A to make one and he said it works great. Might try that next time?

Re: Where to buy an 1891 firing pin
Sounds like they need to keep more parts in stock. If your sales are low and you don't make parts to sell that usually explains low sales. I have made a few before Wisners started making them. I gave Wisners some samples of various Marlin firing pins many decades ago when the father owned it so he c...

Re: Where to buy an 1891 firing pin
I would call Wisners Gun Parts. They show out of stock, but if you call they may run one for you. They're a small family owned business and work with people. Good people to deal with for decades.

Re: Serial number identification
I believe the post 2000 serial number makes it a 2009 mfg. date.

Re: Marlin 39-a serial number....has no letter prefix
Gunsmiths have done barrel swaps on all sorts of old guns for many decades, so seeing a later barrel on an early gun isn't new. The 39A didn't have "Model 39A" or any marking on the top tang, so that gun from a fire is likely all as it was new. They were marked on the barrels, not on the r...
