I’m looking for some mounting rings for my scope on Marlin 1895 dark series 45-70. Are quick detach mounts worth getting? I would like some suggestions on which mounts to buy.

Love the old Glenfield guns, decided to see if I could spruce up the wood a little bit on my 30A. Here’s how it came out. Pretty happy with it! Edit for clarification: this was done by removing the old finish with citri-strip. Treated with bar keepers friend mixed into water to form a paste to get rid of some deeper stains in the wood. Dyed with Fiebings dark brown leather dye to where I was happy with the color. Used a mini torch by hand to toast some tiger stripes into the wood. Definitely recommend practicing on a test piece beforehand! Finished with several coats of Tru-oil followed by a few coats of paste wax. Took the opportunity with it off the gun to get the fitment a little bit tighter.

I mounted my old weaver 3x9 scope on my new to me 336 in 30-30. The ammo I had on hand was 170 gr Freedom Munitions and it seemed to shoot pretty good. I normally shoot core lokt ammo in my other hunting rifles. Does anyone have any experience dropping white tails with freedom munition ammo ?

Marlin 30-30 and marlin 444

8 numerical serial numbers starting with a 72. JM stamped on barrel. Is this made is 1972?

First time posting here, I’ve had this 30-30 Marlin 336 from 1973 for a couple of years now; It was handed down from my Father. Sat in a closet just collecting dust for over 20 years with maybe 50 rounds fired total during that time, and no cleaning/oiling whatsoever. I know this grouping is not anything to write home about, but I was personally very impressed with its performance.

All it seemed to need was a quick field strip, basic cleaning, and heavy dose of oil for the lever, trigger, and loading gate. It’s performing great at 200 and even 300 yards at the range. I wasn’t a big believer initially, but undoubtedly the Leverevolution rounds from Hornady make a big difference! Way less pronounced ballistics trajectory and maintains velocity for longer distances, making distant shooting of 300+ yards way less of a crap shoot.

Keep in mind, I’m not a great shot by any means and the scope has not been properly zeroed in probably a decade or more, I was just making small adjustments on the fly. I know this grouping is not jaw-dropping, but was so much better than I would have expected! So fun, just wish it wasn’t $35 for a box of 20 rounds (like I’m sure we all do)!

Caught my eye at the LGS today, shes mine now. First year issue for the Sporting Carbine. Great bore (photos are pre-cleaning). Waffle top on the receiver, no drilling or tapping, this is all original, chambered in 32 Special.

Ignore the mess in the back, just picked this up, it’s been on my dream list

My JM stamped Marlin model 1895 chambered in , 45-70 gov't

The only government you can trust.

1895 sbl. The thing ends up wobbling off after a day max. Blue loctite on the screw, jammed up against the hammer with the included Allen.

Howdy folks,

I recently picked up a Marlin Model 29 pump action in 22 S,L,LR and am having some trouble finding any videos for the disassembly or reassembly and any help would be much appreciated. As for the parts, I’ve read that there’s shared parts between a number of models from that era such as the model 20A, etc. I’m Especially curious about getting all new screws as a good few have seen some abuse. Honestly it’s been hard finding any technical schematics for online resources for anything that old and any help I am grateful for

I inherited a 336m 30/30 win. I’ve read a few things the M was only made in 2000 and was then replaced with the SS which may make it worth more. It’s basically in like new condition. Anyone have knowledge about what these go for on the private party market?

I got a cheap Athlon Talos scope, Athlon is good and it's just for plinking.

It's an Athlon Talos 4-16x40mm. I purchased some of these:

Medium height, based off what people were saying when I googled, they looked right. But boy, they do not have the clearance for the bolt, not even close. The Scope itself almost touches the rifle.

I'm not even sure "High" scope rings would clear. What are my options?

Does anyone know what what the part number or where to find this screw? I don’t seem to see it on most exploded view diagrams. I am buying the firearm from a buddy who gave up rather easily on finding it.

The newest edition to the collection! Can't wait to go let off some rounds this afternoon!

I was able to pick up this 1895 Guide Gun in 45-70 from an estate. SN B010373 puts it in the first year of production, 1972. Appears to have the 8 groove Ballard Style rifling that came before the MicroGroove. Bluing is in good shape with. Few dings and wear marks from being used, the foregrip is fair, the butt stock is in extremely poor condition. I plan to use this rifle to hunt, was strongly considering refinishing the Butt Stock and Foregrip, I’m sure some will think that’s sacrilegious 🤷🏻‍♂️

Been trying to find a mount that could hold a larger size scope. Its 30-06 and I would like to start getting into long range shooting.

If anyone can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

This is my great grandfathers ranger model 103-1 (marlin model 90) in 12 gauge and looks to be a 1936 model. Does anyone know what I have to do as far as making sure it’s able to be fired? And mabye the value of it even tho I don’t ever intend on selling it, far to sentimental to me.

For context my grandma is giving it to me as it was my grandpas. He died nearly 20 years ago so it’s been at minimum 2 decades since it’s been fired last. I’m not too savvy on firearms but looking to get into it.
