Sheriff Sam Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My question to everyone out there is my marlin is a 45 colt, cant find a lever tune kit that says 45 colt specifically. I see the ones that say 45-70, 450, 257, 30-30, will the 45-70 set work in my 45 colt? have tried to call the company but no answer there as of yet. If anyone knows the answer please shoot me a message or if you have a link to a 45 colt specific set i would be grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 You have a different model Marlin(94)than that what the rifle caliber model is. It wouldn't work. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusta B. Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 As Mr Grits says - looks like you have a Mod 94 & the kits you are looking at are for a Mod 336, or an 1895. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 To just 'Tune the Lever', only 1 spring is required. It would replace the spring for that lever plunger. But, if this particular 'kit' has multiple springs, it will probably also contain a spring that functions the trigger safety bar. If its a more complete 'tune up' kit for the whole rifle, there may be even a couple other springs included. Regardless, the 'general' functions of most Marlin lever rifles basically are the same. And although I haven't seen this particular 'kit' for those rifle caliber models that you mentions, my experience tells me those kits would work in the 1894 models, whether its a single spring pack or multi springs that help function various parts of the 1894. P.S. - Their "Trigger Happy" kits are great. Its a little expensive but it is a very good trigger system that prevents the trigger flop. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
