Go West Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Anyone buy the parts from Cimarron and try them on other guns? Would something like these parts work in a Marlin or 92? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I don't think those parts are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Uberti uses a one-size fits all magazine tube. The Marlin uses a different tube for its big bores and the .357. Even if the parts were available they wouldn't fit in a Marlin .357. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams 3674 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I don't think those parts are available. +1 I called them about buying those parts, and they will not sell them. I am guessing a proprietary item? <_</> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have ever gotten them from Uberti, and if they did then they probably needed them as spares since Uberti sometimes puts the wrong parts in the Trappers and they then will not hold ten. Any machinist could hollow out a mag tube plug, but I'd think some enterprising outfit might want to produce a similar mag spring (in stainless of course).

Oklahoma Dee Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The Cimarron Trapper is a 16" barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yes. With all of the ingenious gunsmiths and tinkerers involved in our sport, I figured we would have had someone come up with his "kit" for Ubertis, Marlins and/or Rossi's by now.

Oklahoma Dee Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I did notice that the magazine spring is kinda unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The Cimarron Trapper is a 16" barrel? Yes. 16" Carbine. Later Taylors came out with an 18" octagon rifle and called it a trapper, which causes some confusion. Cimarron calls their 18" octagon rifle a saddle rifle.

BoomStick Jay Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's the tapered end mag spring right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's the tapered end mag spring right? Radically tapered on both ends so the ends collapse inside themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 About 6 years ago Cimmaron sent me two of those special tapered trapper springs so they used to sell them. Taylor's sells a 16 1/8"1873 wgich is billed as ladies and youth gun and I know it holds ten using a proprietary spring from another smith in the business.
