I recently bought what I think is Marlin .22 from an auction that was in really rough shape, it sat in a shed for 15+ years, barrel clogged with silt, frozen bolt, and cracked body. I don’t know a whole lot about guns but I got her working and cleaned up again. I’m trying to find a new firing...

I tried this before last winter, but didn't get too far. Everybody wanted pics and we were rained out of the Piutes where my shop and the rifle are. So here we go again. I bought an early '93, SN 117598 a few years back in pretty rough shape. It had a bad headspace issue plus the stock had...

Hello everyone, This is my 3rd gun and my very first 22lr. I got it at an amazing deal from Turners for $40 and I have to say, being in California and owning anything that's capable of more than 10 rounds (18. yessss) is somewhat dreamy for me and I am completely in love with this gun! I am...

I have an 1891 Marlin, in 22 rim fire with a round barrel and side loading gate. The entire finish is in the white, with no evidence of ever being blued. I believe this rifle has been in my family for years. I inherited it from my father, who inherited it from his uncle in North Carolina. It's...

I have a Model 80 that was given to me by my father many years ago. The rifle has been parked in my safe waiting for a little restoration work. The rifle is missing the trigger guard, front site and it has no magazines. I'm more interested in getting rifle back to shooting shape than doing a...
