[Marlin Owners Beware]

Widowmaker

 

My Marlin can be fired anytime in the lever travel there is .012 thousandths between back of the trigger and the front of the trigger block with the Trigger Happy, Bad trigger. Put stock trigger back in the gun works fine.

What Gripes me Is the manufacturer and the seller won't stand behind it.

I think I agree Al, Marlin work well right out of the box.

[Marlin Owners Beware]

I purchased a Wild West Guns Trigger Happy Kit some time back for my 1895 Marlin in 45-70. I don't use this gun to often maybe twice a year for long range, I did the other day. A day later I was cleaning it, gun that was apart when I hit the trigger and the hammer drop, that shouldn't happen. I put the gun back together brought the lever up to almost touching the trigger block and pulled the trigger and the hammer dropped, this gun could fire out of battery. I contacted Wild West Guns they say it's my trigger block. I put two stock trigger back in the gun they both work fine. i contacted them back they wouldn't do any thing, told me to contact Midway who I purchased it from they're no help ether. I have a $100.00 trigger that is use-less, I know there are ways to make it work but I shouldn't have to at that price.

Bottom line is that if you have a Wild West trigger in your Marlin you may want to check it. I do have a Happy Trigger in my 336 Marlin works fine, but will be the last one I will ever buy. Midway maybe on my short list too.

Thanks for looking.
