Mad Dane, SASS#5536 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hey Widder, do you know anyone who can repair the carrier in a Marlin 39AS? The spring loaded post has come out , the retaining washer is gone and the coil spring is trashed. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Deadwood Miner, SASS # 45575 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I had a similiar problem with my "j" model (1946) 39A, but only the spring was broken. I went through several ball point pens and finally found a soft coil spring that worked. It has been over a year and no problem so far. Hopefully Widder comes up for a fix on your problem. By the way the 39A cost me $60 nib 1946 and I was making a buck an hour in an asbestos plant. DEADWOOD MINER 45575 Active Shooter at 92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Howdy Mad Dane. If you can give me a call, I need to ask a couple questions and make sure of your situation before I try to give reliable advice. Basically, what Deadwood Miner stated works but I think I can save you some time with other information. 865 / 696-1996 ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dane, SASS#5536 Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks Widder-finally found a youtube video that showed what I needed to know. The washer holding the post in the carrier came off, releasing the post and spring into the action. Got it going and got it gone. A cheap and chintzy setup compared to the older 39A.
