Marlin 39a Repair

Post by Torqueguy »

Hi
I'm new to the forum, regards from Virginia.

I bought a Ballard rifled 39a. The gun is in good shape but is having feeding issues. I replaced all the parts I could find but it's still having feeding issues. Can someone recommend a good gunsmith for this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me

Torqueguy;

You did not describe what feeding problems you are having. Are the cartridges hanging up out of the magazine tube, or are you having problems with the lifter and the cartridge entering the chamber?
We might be able to help with the problem if we know what is happening.
Looking forward to your reply.......
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

If the world was perfect.......it wouldn't be.
