Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I happen to own two (2) Marlins. Both are virtual of course. One is my imaginary 1894 .44 Magnum and the other is my imaginary 39 AS in .22 rimfire. Well, over on another forum I was reading about the .22 rimfire and the extractor Marlin supplied with the original rifle. It seems the extractor is weak and has been known to fail at a Murphy moment. So I went looking for a replacement. I found that most of the suppliers I would normally use no longer stock the part. Since Remington is up for sale, and they own Marlin, I guess no more production parts are made. So, if you are looking for parts, GOOD LUCK.

Warden Callaway Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I have bought Marlin parts when they came available. Wisners makes parts for the old obsolete Marlins. Including the 39. http://www.wisnersinc.com/model/center-fire-lever-1881/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Great....I didn’t think about Marlin being owned by Remington. I wonder what parts I should buy “just in case”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 To complicate matters, the re-introduced 1894 had a lot of parts that look like leftover antique models made prior to WWI when they were discontinued. Then many feature were changed over time. So there are several different carriers, extractors and ejectors. Later post saftey guns look to have normalized somewhat.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My 39A's been steaming along for 65 years... and my 336 for 50. Should I start to worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I start to worry? One problem with the Marlin 1894 design is the ejector tend to fall out when the bolt is pulled. It generally goes "parts unknown". I have a 1897 and the firing pin tends to fall out. I had an ejector spring break in a 1894 made in 1900. Now, if you don't need the gun for several months looking for a unique part, then don't worry. Maybe if you want to shoot it in a match this weekend, it's small insurance to pay.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My 39A is a B model made in 1941; still works fine: "We don't need no stinking parts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Well Church, I am just as delighted as a hog at a feed store, for you. The later models have a bent spring that is used for an ejector and have been known to break at a Murphy Moment. Mine was made in 1999 and equipped these lesser materials. Bottom line and virtual requirement, you know. I think some one makes one more robust and not as virtual, but I can't find his web page. Dang virus.

Pat Riot Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I have an 1894CB that I bought in 2019. I have over 500 rounds through it with zero defects. It would be a lot more but crashing bikes and having back surgery just throws a damper on my hobbies sometimes. I did find a sight that sells parts for Marlins made after 2009, but then I was thinking “Are these the same parts they made on the crappy machinery by the techs that didn’t know what they were doing with lousy QC oversight?...or are these parts recently made after they seemed to have gotten their stuff together and made more reliable guns?” Looks like I gotta send an email and find out.

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I have 2 JM stamped '94s. Both in .45 Colt. Both were bought used. Both have several thousand rounds thru them, by me, with nary a broken anything. Not sure how much the original owners used them........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
