Reblueing & Repair

[g45]

I have a Marlin 30-30, early 60's. I made a bad mistake when the gun was stored and it got some very heavy rust. I'm sure it can be restored. Would it be best to send it back to the factory or try and find someone to repair it correctly ?

Thank you,
Gordon

Discontinued Models
We can no longer service some discontinued and older models. Models 336 and 39A's that are more than 50 years old and semi auto 22's more than 30 years old cannot be serviced by Marlin. Please write or call the Marlin Service Department with the model and serial number of your firearm if you have any question regarding serviceability.

So if it's a 1960...might be stretching it...but I'd call 'em. For a simple Re-bluing, I would think that it could be done.

Depending on where you live, there are gunsmiths available.
Here's a list of certified Marlin ones...http://www.marlinfirearms.com/customers ... epairs.asp
