El Sobrante Kid Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 I have seen a few ways to do the fix; bend, weld/file, JB Weld/shim. How do you do yours, and how much taller are they when they are finished? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 Contact @Slater at @Slater's In House Guns. He and @Widder, SASS #59054 are MY Marlin gurus! None of my Marlins have gremlins OR jams once they are done with them! Widder is kinda retired but I think Slater invites him over so that he stays outta trouble! 😂 Seriously, Slater does excellent work not only on Marlins but also on 1887s, and Henry .22s His smooth stroke Henry .22 would make an EXCELLENT Christmas present! Hugs! Scarlett 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid fixing with JB weld. It's how your finish is done. It's not hard and it's also not easy. Thanks for asking pilgrim. Haven't had any returns on my fixing that Marlin Jam. I think Widder would say I'm doing ok. Jackrabbit Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 I've probably had conversations with MANY folks in SASS (and quite a few outside of SASS) about the Marlin and its inner workings. A good handful of those folks had a good knowledge of the Marlin and either had a minor question OR share information. Indeed, I have also learned a few things from those conversations. Jackrabbit Joe was one of those folks who already knew a good deal about the Marlin and talking with him was good conversations. I think his offer of these services can be very helpful to Marlin owners who are suffering with that gremlin known as the Marlin Jam. Hope you are doing well, JJ. ..........Widder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostrum Damus SASS #110702 Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Plus, the eBay guy in England (seller name leen8472) is still making improved stainless steel carriers. I got the .357/.38 one over the summer and it worked great in my test runs. I just put it back into my parts box for when the original starts hanging up.

Frontier Lone Rider Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 I was apprehensive about reading this as I only shoot Marlins for Long-Range. I have two 24-inch 1894s in 357, two 336 CBs in 38-55, and two 1895s in 45-70 and have never experienced a single problem with anyone of these. I didn't want to jinx my Marlins.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Shooting long range events only will not put near the amount of rounds through the Marlin that shooting regular main match stages will. It would take much longer for a problem to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does the wear and tear from hard usage develop problems......... but the 'timing' and its functional efficiency is also effected by the OAL of specific ammo. We rarely, if ever, hear about the 336 or 1895 models developing timing issues and this is partly due to the ammo is very long for these rifles and the timing is not as critical. BUT, when it comes to the .38 special and all of the various OAL ammo that is used in the 1894's, OAL becomes a critical item even with just a minimal amount of wear on the timing ramp.
