Marlin Firearms Collectors Association

Hi Vall interesting reference. I am in Arizona and away from my collection so I will check in the Spring. I got a lot of loading tools of various manufactures including Marlin Ideal and Marlin 1881 combo tools. Just last week found an early Winchester mold and spoon handle loading tool for the .50-7...

Great information. Now I will have to check what is written on my boxed molds. Thanks for sharing Vall.

Does anyone know the code for Lyman no. 15 Windage Tang Sight for the model 1881 rifle.

Here are photos of the Model 1881
