Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have no experience with them, but it looks like they are of British Manufacture. Might be a problrm with importing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 AT $154.00 plus shipping and import fees I doubt it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 What’s wrong with the stock one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Gunner Gatlin will hardface your existing carrier for a more reasonable fee. This avoids the wear and timing change which is the underlying cause of the Marlin jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Why not hold off a tad and see what Ruger does with the Marlin brand. Maybe they will keep the line and fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 If I had a carrier problem, I would decide on what the problem might actually be and then get IT fixed accordingly before I would buy a new carrier, stainless or otherwise. 1. If the washer has worked loose and/or fallen off, (and maybe lost the plunger stud), I would get a new plunger stud kit from Slick McClade. If you've still got the plunger stud, you can use a small portion of a ball point pin and secure it back with a 1/8" E-clip. 2. if you timing ramp has worn and is bad, send it to Gunner. If you want your rifle to be reliable with short OAL ammo, send the carrier to Gunner. Short OAL ammo requires a slightly lifted ramp of just a few .000's. Just a couple helpful thoughts. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
