Scorpio64 5,120 Posted September 29, 2014 I may need an actual gunsmith to do some work on a 1970's Marlin lever action rifle. Can anyone recommend an experienced smith, not an AR armorer or a "smith" who can figure it out, but an actual old school gun smith. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a little ambitious during the take down to clean it for the first time and wound up with "extra parts" after reassembly. I figured out where most of the things that fell out of the receiver went and put them back into place but I'm left with one screw I cannot figure out where it belongs. I've looked at several exploded view diagrams but none specifically for the 39D as I cannot find one. I joined marlinowners the day I picked up the rifle. I've asked for some assistance there and have received a reply but the problem is not yet resolved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
