SlateHouse, Welcome to the forum. I will try and answer your question about removing the firing pin from the Marlin A1breech bolt. With the breech bolt removed from the rifle,look at the bottom of the recess which holds the bolt handle. You should see a small half circle http://i911.photobucket.com/...

Re: Need Help on A1 Breech Bolt Handle

Glad to help out. :D Back when I joined the forum I had a "store brand" A1/Model 34A minus the bolt handle,so yes I

The magazine catch is the part you were missing. From your photos it looks to me that yes,the magazine will attach.
