    I am looking for my Dads Westpoint .30-30. It was stolen 7-8 years ago from western Arkansas. It has notches cut into the forearm stock with a pocket knife keeping a tally of deer killed with it. It had a saddle ring on it. I am just wanting to buy it back. Please share and keep this going. Pm...
  2. Optics Discussion Forum
    I may get criticized for posting this - i.e. those of you who just do not like to see optics on lever guns. Due to my approaching age which guarantees a less than perfect eye-sight, I feel that shooting with a glass suddenly brings me plenty of joy at the range. Just sharing some pictures with...

    I read somewhere that the reason the Marlin's date of manufacture is not complete was due to a fire that destroyed the original records on top of other materials. How much of this story is true? Do we have concrete evidence or just stories that get passed on?
  4. 1894
    I have a Cowboy 1894 Ltd. in 45 LC with a 20" barrel. Store-bought ammo ( Federal American Eagle JSP 225 gr. only go about 828 fps at 50 yards. I like to sight the rifle for 100 yards distance. What kind of groupings should I expect for this rifle? I am using a Williams rear peep sight. Thanks...

    I paid around $80 for this book by W. Brophy almost 5 years back. I guess I was lucky to get it at this price as I have seen the same book being listed at ridiculously high prices online. So, if you can buy it at a reasonable price now, please grab it soon! The book itself is becoming a...
  6. Marlin Collectors
    I have a good Marlin 1893 which was made in 1902 but still in "great condition" - wood & steel are all good and the gun cycles fine with no hiccups. It's chambered for 30-30 caliber and has a 20" octagonal barrel. I looked up the Marlin Day of Manufacture site and it was archived as a "custom...

  8. Marlin Collectors
    How accurate is this rifle up to 100 yards? Or would you try 200 yards? Question 2: what power scope should I use? Thanks! Shenkoh
  9. Cowboy Rifles
    It has a 20" Octagon barrel and in 45 LC caliber. I think the gun was manufactured in early 2000, maybe 2005 (JM). I would like to load it to over 1300 fps. Shooting up to 150 yards. Is Titigroup a good powder to use? Has anyone done that before for this 45 Colt caliber? Thanks!;) Shenkoh

    On Sunday my buddy and me had a real highlight on a morning hunt. The first plan was hunting from a stand, but this changed when a near positioned trail camera show wild boars in the area. We head out for the cornfields, but weren't able to come close enough for a save shot. So we changed our...
  11. The 444 Marlin
    I have an opportunity to pick up a .444 Marlin with a "71" prefix, but honestly not all that sure about this one. The rifle is one with honest wear, appears to have been carried in the field for numerous hunts, but never abused. It has the typical thinned bluing and some very small dings in...

    I bought this '67 Marlin 336RC 35 Rem lever action from a buddy back early 70s. It's been my only deer gun since then. Took 2 with it. A recent ICD implant in my right chest means I'll never fire this rifle again There are fewer than 150 rounds through it. It's been well cared for. Comes in a...

    Here's a fun & interesting video made over 100 years ago showing the manufacturing at Marlin, New Haven CT, in 1921. The quality is not great, but you'll be able to see how they made guns back then. You can tell that it was pre-OSHA days, particularly in the scene showing dozens of machines...
  16. Team Bolt Action Rimfire
    My grandfather passed away in 2013 and left me the stock to the gun he was going to build when I was hunting age. I was never into hunting when I was younger so he never built it. I have this nagging feeling now that I should build this gun but don’t know where to start. I’m pretty sure it’s a...

    I am looking for a 1939 marlin 39-A bolt. I haven’t had much luck every post I have come across either sold years ago. I would love any help anyone could provide
  18. 32-40 38-55/375 & Other Non Standard Caliber
    Over the Fourth of July weekend was talking guns with my cousin. Little bit of background on his family. They were Ranchers in Corson county West River South Dakota since before 1900. So he pulls out this old lever action rifle out of the closet. I started to look at it and found out that it is...
  19. New Member Introductions
    Hello Marlin Owners, I recently inherited a Model 1893 (corrected from '98) 30-30 Marlin lever action rifle from my father. I had the gun cleaned and inspected and it is clear that the wood at the front of the stock, around the hammer area, was split apart, after heavy use. The shop recommended...
