Help with Marlin Lifter


Cypress Sam, SASS #10915

Recommended Posts

The washer that is braded onto the plunger on the lifter on my Marlin Cowboy sheared off.  Does anyone know of a source for a new plunger assembly?  There is not enough left to fit an e-ring onto the old plunger.

Yo-Ho Sam:  Try Slick McClade at (318)278-9071.

Pretty sure he can fix you up.  If not I do have some carriers that are fixed for the Marlin Jamb if need one.

slickmagicguns.com has the replacement button kit.

Thanks for the help.  I can always depend on my friends on the wire for help.  I ordered a replacement kit from Slick.

 

The  factory replacement lifter won’t work because my gun has been short stroked.

I always buy two if the price is not too high.  Postage is usually the same and I've been known to lose them right out of the package

I was educated on buying 2 years back.  I was playing being a farmer and had all used equipment. I would cut hay with a Ford 501 sickle mower. I kept breaking the hickory pitman arm.  And always when I was using it!  About the 4th run to the parts store the sales clerk gave me some valuable advice.  Buy two and hang one in the barn.  I did and never broke another.  The old mower is long gone.  I'll have to see if the extra pitman arm is still there.

I knew a feller that did the same thing with his wife and a girlfriend.

He used his wife and let the girlfriend hang around in the barn.

 

NOW, they're both gone.

I used to have to cut hay with a one-mule-power sickle bar mower back when I was a kid.  I always hoped that the damn thing would disintegrate.  Never did though.  Finally my Dad got a Farmall Cub tractor with a sickle bar - much better.  
 

I didn’t need two of them though.

I wasn’t living off the grid.  Just back before there WAS a “grid”.  Florida back during and right after WWII wasn’t much like it is now, ‘specially out on the ranch where I was raised.

 

As a matter of fact, even now civilization pretty much ends about 10 miles south of here (Kissimmee) and doesn’t pick up again for a hundred miles.  If one considers Okeechobee City to be civilization.
