lever fever

[bigrich]

from what i've read/heard , there were old fellas at marlin that had been hand building them their whole lives . when remington took over they moved the factory and lost all these old fellas and their knowledge . remington actually had to get design/workshop drawings made cause none existed . the JM's were hand made with passed down knowledge .
my 1894 44 mag definately needed some hands on tweaks . luckily i'm a old school muscle car/hot rod guy who's prepared to give it a go with fabrication , hand finishing type stuff . the MR serials just need a little work ........the JM's had that done at the factory
i've owned 3 model 94 winnies, and although more complicated , they all fed floorless . if i could've scope mounted a winnie 92 i would have one over a marlin. but now i've put my mark on my marlin and got it working great i do like it

And they were pissed. Many apparently abotaged the machinery they'd been operating for decades out-of-spec, or simply left no follow-on instructions for the new owners.

You betchya! Tweaking and fixing is all part of the game. My 1895 needed a bit of a grindstone to the bevelled end of a few screws to stop interference where not needed, other than that she's very nice to use.

Yes a Marlin 22 was one of her favorites.

I do like the modular silencer on the end of that.

And if the 20mm launcher was changed out for a 12G I'd be cool with that, too.

Is that a 40mm thrower is it? Looks like some kind of macvsog tool.
