Marlin clean up Gunsmith???

[Pee Wee #15785]

Who would you send a JM .45 Colt Cowboy safe queen with under 100 rounds through it.  My friend just wants it slicked up and what needs to be done to stop any chance of the Marlin Jam, maybe springs if needed.  No short stroke or any mods for compatition as he is going to use for deer hunting in Indiana and Ohio.

 

I have told him we could do springs and slicking up and not to worry about the jam as he will never put enough rounds through it to bring it on.  I have one that I got in 1990's used for several years in SASS and never seen the jam.

Lassiter would be pretty close to y'all. And would do a fine job.    See the sticky post about cowboy gunsmiths for  contact info for him.

 

Agree that fixing a Marlin carrier is easier than trying to ever prevent it from jamming, if it ever does.

 

good luck, GJ

I agree with GJ.

Another good 'slick-em' smith is Longhunter.

I wouldn't hesitate sending my Marlin to either Lassiter or Longhunter.

 

EDIT:  Yes indeed, Boomstick is also a good Marlin mechanic.

Boomstick Jay is a good Marlin man as well.

Yup.

I will tell him about Lassiter as that would be a good bike ride, save shipping.
