    Marlins - Lucky or unlucky

    I think with Marlins you can be lucky or unlucky.

    I have had 4 of them a standard 38, a 24 inch 38 Cowboy a 44 SS and now a standard .38 again, and subject to round overall length I have had very few problems, although I have friends that have constant problems and despite changing lifters sometimes several times, they seem to have endless problems, I have heard the new newer remlins are supposed to be better than the originals, but not seen one yet here.

    There was one floating about the forums and selling sites for ages. Bloke wanted way too much money. Why some now consider that every Marlin is worth around a grand,mud beyond me....

    Marlin prices

    I notice that even the 336 models in 30/30 are asking big prices...£550-650 on Gunstar. Somebody must have realised that this rifle/calibre can knock the spots off the 1894 pistol calibres

    Did you fit it and did it go straight in.

    The person who got them made borrowed my spare one which had broken ( bent centre bar which an engineer friend had repaired), to get measurements for CNC.
