I have one a 1978 vintage It likes 240 gr. or less bullets Horniday XTP or Speer soft tip with a near max load of H100. When I sighted it in for deer season I got a 3 shot group under 2 inches at 100 yards. It shoots best dirty but it is getting old. I had a peep sight on but had to take it...

Model 12 The shell which is to be loaded into the chamber next is held back by the shell lifter. You can see part of the brass sticking out of the magazine. When you cycle the action that shell is loaded and the shell stop pivots out and stops the next shell, Then as you finish the cycle the...

Yes Marlin triggers wiggle, but they work. Try it and if it bothers you you can replace it with an after market from Cabelas or Brownells. Winters

I was working some old range pickup brass this weekend and found 2 cases that would not de prime. When I checked to see if the pin was bent, it was O.K. Checked the brass and found that it had 2 small flash holes instead of 1 large one! Looked to what kind of brass it was and...

I have had the same problem with my .44. You have to disassemble the rifle. First remove the screw that holds the lever and pull it down and out. Second pull the bolt out of the back of the reciever, becarefull when you do this as the ejector spring is behind the bolt don't lose it . This...

200 gr lead semi wadcutter over 4 gr Bullseye. Cycles the action and you don't have too chase the brass too far. Winters

I have a 1978 marlin .44 . The only problem I have had with it is the loading gate screw coming loose. Fixed that with a drop of blue locktite. I bought it used and have put 100's of rounds through it, working up loads, plinking, fitting a peep sight, 2 scopes, and a red dot . Plus loading and...

I used blue locktite on my Marlin. It is supposed to remove with regular tools. When I took it apart I had to heat it with a propane torch. it didn't take much heat, just enough to get the lube to smoke. I don't use it on any screws I have to remove for my yearly detail strip after Deer season...

On my Marlin I cut a new slot with a file to fit a red dot scope. A new base is only $7.00 What do you have to loose? Go slow, check fit often. Winters

It looks like you got a good deal. But the scope mounts are on backwards. Watch your eye brow if you shoot it that way! Winters

My marlin 1894 .44 mag is accurate with up to 240 grain loads. The 265 grain pattern. I haven't tried any heaver. The most accurate was the 200 grain. But not by much . I use 240 grain fp or exp for deer. Winters

I sometimes hunt with a ruger super blackhawk. I carry it in a holster on my fanny pack belt. When I get to my car to get in for lunch I have to unload it and put it in the case and in the back before I get in the car. It is illegal to have a loaded gun in or on a car in Wi. I have never...

For sand bags cut off the leg of a pair of jeans 18". Sew one end shut. Fill with sand or foam beads or used midea and wire the other end shut like the wire tie on a loaf of bread. Winters

I only used it in the bores and did not get any on the wood. It took the wax off my table top when it came out the muzzle. Now I use more news paper! Winters

I tried Gunslick brand this year. It worked verry well on my deer rifle and a verry dirty .22 pistol. I liked Rem. bore cleaner for shotguns. I found you have to let it in the bore for 1/2 hour or longer for good results. Winters

I took a lady shooting for the second time this week end. It was cold and cloudy. The first time we took a .22 single shot rifle a .22 pistol , a.410 single shot , and a 12ga pump. She wanted to shoot something bigger. So this time we took a 9mm ruger , a .44 mag super blackhawk, and a...

My son has a Marlin in .444 Ammo is $17.00 to $20.00+ for a box of 20. Some times it is hard to find. A 265 gr flat nose soft point Is listed about 2,000 feet per second. It is a good round for deer and should be O.K. for bear etc. My son refers to it as the chiropractor, after a box of ammo...

I use a set of TRUGLO fire sights for my older 870 model tg110w. The front has to be tapped into the dove tail and the rear replaces the standard rear by removing the the screw you use to adjust R/L. I picked them up at a local sporting goods store. Good luck. Winters

Golf balls are too small for a new shooter. I like gallon milk jugs and 20oz pop bottles! sm it was cold 1 box .410, 3 boxes 12ga, 4 boxes .22 . She went through ammo faster than my grand kids! Came back with 21/2 boxes 12ga. I told her that I should have put my arms around her to correct...

I took a lady friend out shooting for the first time Saturday. It was sunny and cold. We started out with a .22 single shot rifle (Rem. 514) Then I got out the old .410 single shot (Newport). We were shooting at empty plastic bottels at an abondend gravel pit. After the first shot with the...
