I have a 1953 - 39A with buggered forearm cap screws and the 4 small screws on the left side of the receiver. Other thasn this, the gun is mint. Does anyone have any idea where I could get replacement "unbuggered" screws? Thanks!

Can anyone help me in locating an elevator for the rear sight of a 1953 Model 39A?. One of you was good enough to find the rear leaf sight for me and now I need the elevator that goes with it. Thanks.

I have two early 1950 Marlins with oil finished stocks. Both are in perfect shape, but darkened with age to the point that the real beauty of the wood can't be fully seen. I would like to clean them up and possibly add some additional oil to them. I have heard that the clean up is accomplished with ...

Thanks for the help guys.

This gun is the same gun as on the bottom of page 199 except the barrel is all octagonal and it has factory sling swivel posts. It also has the 6th type S-shaped, stamped-metal double-recurve butt plate as shown on p.663 and described on p. 666. It is a model 93 and I can't tell you about the bullse...

A friend has an 1893 "Lightweight Rifle" in 32HPS with a SN of A8XX. Brophy's book doesn't help me identify the DOB. Can someone help? Any idea how many were made?

Thanks.

Can the color-case hardened receiver of a M1893 be successfully refinished? I know it would be a cardinal sin, but could it be successfully blued to match the rest of the gun? Finally, if some misguided soul did blue a CCH receiver, could the CCH be restored? Thanks, I'm trying to understand my opti...

I am looking at two 1893s. One is a 1906 DOB Carbine with "Special Smokeless Steel" on the barrel, and the other is a 1893 rifle with 24" barrel that does not have the "Special Smokeless Steel" marking. I don't have the info on the DOB of the rifle. Should I be suspicious of...

Thanks. That's what I was looking for!

I am looing for a high-quality professional restorer to restore a model 1889. Can you recommend somebody?

I am hunting for a gun that is a good candidate for restoration. What are the key things that I should be looking for in a restorable gun? Thanks!

I have recently acquired a '50 336A in "mint" condition. Can anyone offer some general tips on storage of this fine old specimen? I think I know how to protect the "innards', but what about the blued exterior surfaces. Is there a way to slow down the transition to plumb? Thanks.

It is a Marlin 1889. I well send you a private message.

You're right. Sorry.

The 33rd edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values states that a Model 1892 in 95% condition is worth about $1500. Can anyone estimate for me how much a restored "mint" Model 1892 would be worth? Thank you.
