Whisky Ditch Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Good morning, I’m looking for a Marlin 1894 safety detent spring…. Yes I disassembled my brand new rifle and lost it. Marlin factory won’t supply a new one. I’d like to install a safety delete and need it to hold it in place correctly. And of course I’d like to have it just in case. any ideas or anyone have some spare parts laying around?? Thanks for the help, Whisky Ditch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Try a ball point pen or a Bic lighter spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If you use a lighter finger lever plunger spring you might have to lighten the pressure on the trigger safety block spring.

Rattlesnake Slim Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I agree with LG. Just run the socket head set screw in until it holds the plug in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Whisky, any small spring that will fit into that hole will work....... and I probably have some because those size springs are similar to the ejector and extractor springs on the Henry .22 rifles. As mentioned above, you still must have the detent ball and set screw. Do you have those? If I have those size springs, I'll be glad to mail you a couple........ free. I gotta get down to my basement this afternoon and check. I'll get back with you. Dont forget to let us know if you still have the little ball and set screw. ..........Widder 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES, this will work perfect if all you want to do is hold the safety in place. But is you want the safety to manipulate ON/OFF, the spring and ball is needed. ..........Widder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Whisky, I got a couple of springs I can send you. Actually, I can send you 2 of those springs PLUS a longer, aftermarket spring that you can cut and size to your preference if you prefer. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail on Monday. EDIT: Lumpy's gunsmith rule #1: keep your screws tightened. Widder's gunsmith rule #2: Keep a good magnet/magnet bowl on your gun bench. ..........Widder Edited January 12 by Widder, SASS #59054 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
