Bugger all stock in bris because of this covid drama. Looks like I’m driving north. If anyone from bris needs something from the shop and hates driving as much as I do , let me know

Was there yesterday i was hoping to see the new part of the shop open however its a few weeks away. I could spend hours in that store if i had the time.

I usually end up having lunch at the boat shed they do some mean calamari there highly recommended. Before the hour drive back home yo Brisbane.

I actually have a can of v belt spray to give away but I’m not sure if u are joking or not because it’s not usually a gun store thing. I have it because I was trying to isolate / identify an alternator problem but I needed to buy a new alternator.....thanks for the tip regarding the calamari maybe next time. I just saw your posts. I pretty much come straight home From the shop and mounted my new rail and holo sight onto my new rifle I collected this morning...I’m looking fwd to some winter daytime hunting pigs If I can get away from work. At times like this I wish I would only be approached by feral people because they are so easy to get rid of by telling them to bugger off. But I can’t do that to nice people I try not to spend to much time in that shop unless I recently won lotto

What rifle did you end up picking up i want to grab a crono to set myself out for some longer range work with the 7mm rem mag sadly though i haven't seen a range since before covid. Also need to work on getting a property

i fitted the same kit to a 357 mag marlin i had . it gave me a really , really good trigger

[AZZA'S HJ47]

Id do it again if I were to buy another marlin.

[Blr243]

Big rich told me about the slick kit the other day. I tried to grab one but they said they are out of stock and that they did not get more in because the supplier had put the price up but I would have paid double because I really value a greatly improved trigger so I spose I gotta investigate it further and make it happen somehow

I was joking in the sense that you were heading in the opposite direction,,,,,,, but I really do need to make a trip into town to get some spray grip.

???? put up a wanted ad on Abused Guns for your slick kit.

i did a quick google search , google knows all brownells australia have the parts listed individually ,allow 21 days for delivery . i've used brownells a couple of times . it does take a couple of weeks if it's coming from their IOWA USA warehouse . they haven't failed me yet but

[mickb]

Ive used brownells Australia too. They are run as part of the Shooters Warehouse store by Bruce Brown in Canberra.

[Blr243]

I emailed them but no joy. I’ll give them a call

they can be hard to get a hold of , i just buy stuff off their site , pay with visa , simples . you have to register your details first but

[Blr243]

Big rich , the kit said something about the mag follower and the trigger. But I could only see the trigger on brown elks site. So to get the trigger on my marlin a lot lighter and therefore more accurate is it just the brown Ellis trigger I need?

[bigrich]

yeh mate, to get a good trigger in your marlin, the trigger is all you need . there's lots of how too's on youtube . i did mine step by step , hitting pause as i followed the instructions on my gun from the video . it's not hard , just take your time , don't rush, and don't force anything . another tip , lay everything out on a clean cloth in the order and which way they were facing as you pull it apart

the steel follower you won't need for a while cause it's only after a lot of use the factory plastic one wears . the one peice extractor is the same deal, but don't drop the factory one either . when they hit the ground, cause their a funny shaped spring , they can bounce and end up in the most unlikely places

in2anity on this forum is pretty cluey with marlins, give him a PM too i guess

[Blr243]

Thanks again BR

[bigrich]

Thanks again BR

no worries, glad to help

They're not to bad to fit up as mentioned plenty of videos out there. Perhaps a little emery paper jebus some of the parts of the receiver on my 1895 sbl you would have swore were sharpened for a razor edge.
