    Hello all, I recently purchased a Glenfield model 70 made in 1978 from a pawn shop for a decent price (about $100). I don't have any major complaints with the gun, it cycles well and hasn't jammed yet. The biggest issue that I have with it is that there is about a centimetre of trigger creep...

    I just inherited a Marlin Model 989 M2 from my great-uncle. It came with everything but a stock. When I got it I swear there was more rust than gun but I removed most of the rust, cleaned the whole thing, and applied a layer of gun oil. I'm either going to purchase a stock or part the gun off. I...

    Hi! Bought my first Marlin .22LR bolt action rifle a few weeks ago from Sportsmans. Finally took it out to the range today for the first time and immediately the range master stopped me after a few rounds. He said my rifle didn't sound like a "22" and asked to take a look at it. Upon inspection...

    Hello all. My father in law has a Marlin Model 783. He was wondering if he could replace the "backwards" safety with a newer forward-fire safety. I've looked online but to no avail. I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks
