    Turning a Revelation 120 into a Marlin 795: which barrel to keep? (Just a little tongue in cheek.)

    This is General Discussion instead of gunsmithing because I'm interested in general opinions on feasibility, not "how-to." So I bought a very junky Revelation 120 years ago .... Pictured: Not my own gun and have had the barreled receiver: ...knocking around ever since. It's followed me...

    Marlin 336CS date

    Hey guys, New here. I’ve read a ton of posts on trying to date this Marlin of mine, but no luck. Marlin 336CS with safety… but serial starts in 405XXXX44C727D6-D97F-4661-9FA4-DB2994708A8F by BackseatBoy posted Oct 20, 2022 at 1:45 PMF0095CD8-542E-449D-9263-EFFBDB8A1CC7 by BackseatBoy posted Oct...

    Marlin Guide Gun, I sacrificed form for function.

    I have sinned and mounted a modern sight on the lever gun in pursuit of my perfect brush gun. I always thought scopes just looked wrong on lever guns and vowed never to do it but now I’m flirting with my vow and have a Holographic on my gun. I originally intended to put a Skinner peep on my gun...

    A decision to make.

    Hey folks. So this is my first post in the forums and I'm looking for all the lever gun guys opinion. I know in the end it's up to me to make the final decision but would still love to hear everyone's pros and cons. I have a Browning model 92 chambered in 44 and I have been eyeing up a JM Marlin...

    .44 mag vs 30/30 in 16 inch barrel

    Contemplating buying a Marlin Dark series in either 44mag or 30/30 and weighing up the pros and cons. A lot of the cartridge data for these rounds seems to relate to 44’s fired from revolver length barrels while the 30/30 data is mostly obtained from 24 inch rifle barrels. While these show a...

    Ordered a SilencerCo Hybrid 46 today.

    I have an AR-15 chambered in .450 Bushmaster, a Marlin 1895 SBL in .45-70 Govt, a Marlin 1894 in .45 Colt and hope to pick up a .45 cal submachine gun soon so figured it was time to order a SilencerCo Hybrid 46. Hopefully @MachIVshooter will have time to thread some Marlin barrels for me in the...

    Henry Big Boy steel vs Marlin 1894

    Hello everyone! I’m looking into purchasing a lever action rifle chambered in .357 mag, and I’m debating between a Marlin 1894, or the Henry Big Boy steel. The lack of a loading gate on the Henry doesn’t bother me, but I would like to purchase the higher quality rifle. I’ve heard the Henry has...

    Which gun is better? The Marlin 795 or the 60?

    I know that they are virtually the same rifle, but those of you who own, or have owned, both of the rifles, which did you like the best? Why?

    Who Needs 450 Bushmaster When There's The 45-70?

    I'm just not convinced that I should scrap my Marlin 45-70 for anything in 450 Bushmaster. What's all the hullabaloo? What, in reality, can it do my Marlin can't?

    1895gs

    I am able to get an 1895gs for super cheap but I like the look of the 6 shot magazine tube. I have looked and am not able to find a SS tube for 6 shot anywhere. Can somebody point me where to find one I will be going to gunsmithing school and figured I could switch the tubes as a project if its...

    Let's Unpack This Part 2... (2019 Great American Outdoor Show)

    (Part 1 can be found here) Thanks for the kind words on Part 1 of this write-up. I'm not a professional by any stretch (though I used to be a paid political blogger), just a civilian 2nd Amendment enthusiast. Now, with that out of the way, let's get on with the rest of my experience at the...

    Marlin 336BL Gets New Eyes

    I hesitate to post this after reading through the "Scout Rifle" thread below, but I'll go ahead and dive in anyway. Nobody ever said self-preservation was one of my strongest points... :eek: This is a JM-stamped Marlin 336BL I purchased not long before the Remington takeover and factory move...

    Does Marlin Still Suck?

    I am looking to re-enter the lever gun world but would like something that is made in the US and has a side loading gate. I was wanting something in 45LC. I realize that limits my options. Henry's are nice but have that weird tube loading method. Winchester is made in Japan, and of course the...

    Marlin Model 55 Hard Bolt Lift

    I recently purchased a Marlin Model 55 Goose Gun in 12 gauge. It has a 3" chamber and has been converted into a slug gun with front and rear sights added and the barrel shortened somewhat from the original 36". I fired it today for the first time and found that with all 3" shells (factory...

    Camp carbine synthetic stock question

    I see that choate makes a collapsible stock for the camp 45. Does anyone know if the stock comes off of the “buffer tube” and what diameter the tube is? Trying to decide between the folder and the collapsible to keep my original pristine, but don’t like the stock it comes with and would prefer...

    Marlin 336Y- Many questions

    friends, a buddy of mine recently acquired a Marlin 336Y, and it looks to be unfired. I am helping him with it, and will be loading for it as well, so I too have a bunch of questions. He wants to get a sling for it, preferably leather,. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good sling? He...

    Marlin 1894 .44 Magnum Lead-Free Ammunition

    Hello, all. Has anyone found a lead-free .44 Magnum ammunition that will achieve pig-worthy accuracy and reliability in a lever gun, such as the Marlin 1894? I think the main concern is that copper bullets are less dense and therefore longer than lead bullets, so they might not feed reliably in...

    Ever rebuild a Marlin model 60 with older parts, then have problems?

    I had a 1999-vintage model 60 .22 with no action assembly when I came across an early 60's-vintage (no serial number) Western Auto "Revelation" version of the same gun. The Revelation was in pretty piss-poor shape externally, but on opening it up, the action assembly seemed ok. So after a bit of...

    Anyone got a peep sight on their Marlin 39A

    Anyone got a peep sight on their Marlin model 39A? Which one did you choose? Why? Do/did you like it afterwards? What would you have done differently now that you used it? Got a picture? Recently came into ownership of a ~1975 Golden 39A. Thinking of going with the Skinner brand peep...
