Re: Model 1893 Disassembly

Thanks for the information. I had never taken down a lever model Marlin until now. Quite impressed with the simple design.

Model 1893 Disassembly

- Does anybody have access to an exploded parts diagram for the Model 1893? I have a regular parts diagram. Looking for an exploded view.

- In lieu of the above, does anybody have a disassembly guide. This model looks a little different than the 1894 that is out there.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Thanks

Model 1893 hammer spring

I acquired a Model 1893 with a weak hammer. Removing the stock revealed a “wire” type hammer spring. Doesn’t look very good to me, although I might be able to adjust the fit. I see this wire spring listed as a replacement part in some literature. It appears the original should be a flat spring. Can ...
