Early Marlin 1894 ejector spring

[Dirty Dan Dawkins]

I have a 1979 year production 1894 in 44 Remington Magnum. It has the old style ejector spring. I can’t seem to find these anywhere. Anyone know of a source? I better pick up a spare.

I think you can substitute the newer style one.

What about like the tit on the spring and hole in the receiver. Tit is missing on old spring and no hole in reciever on old rifles.

 

I’ll find out! I’ll take the spring out of my 357 cowboy and see if it works!

Is this it?

Warden, similar. And thanks, I was hoping you’d chime in.
 

I found several on eBay that look close. There are apparently 4 different extractors used on 1893, 94, 1895/336. The ones on Wiseners specify “will not fit on 44 mag”.

Apparently the 44 mag is specific. It is thinner that the others. 

I think I found a guy with 3 on eBay, but his pics are fuzzy. 

I emailed Wisener to see if they had any not listed online, or if they could make any. I think I better get 2 spares.

When Marlin reintroduce the 1894 in 1969 it was very similar to what they discontinued in 1917 at the start of WWI.  They probably were using up parts of the old model still in stock.  As time went on, the ejector, extractor, carrier were changed.  Many other small changes. 

 

 

When I started messing with the 1894 about 10 years ago, Midwayusa had almost every part for Marlin. After Remington took over all part everywhere went underground.  Parts for anything not tacticool have dried up.   Pretty much eBay is the only source for parts.  Often they are not right or warn out.

That pretty looks very close. A guy has three on ebay, and he is just an hour south of me. New old stock from an estate sale of a deceased gunsmith. Lots of Marlin parts. I contacted him to take more measurements. 

I suppose a competent gunsmith could modify the receiver for a new style, though not worth the cost. Its a really fine rifle. My uncle bought it new and said he shot a box or two through it. And still......why do guys always mount the sling swivel in the bullseye?

Might not be what you are looking for and based on the price, hope not.  Numrich has these showing in stock though.

I just bought three locally. Think I’ll put them in the safe deposit box at the bank, in a vacuum sealed Altoid box full of desiccate packs and a big orange label telling what it is. Mine is not broken, nor is it a competition rifle, just for hunting- but I have four of the springs now.

We've went down this trail several times. I Googled SASSnet.com and found this question and answer several times. A guy on ebay were selling a bunch at a high price in 2018 - but he had them.
