Then, holding the spring in position, tighten the screw. The Winchester July 1990 FP recall was for Model 100 rifles only, but at about the time the Model 100 came into being, the 88 underwent internal changes in that many of the 100 parts could be utilized. Keep the screw a little loose so that it very easy to hold in the proper position. Marlinman93 provided me with a useful tip about the mainspring. With the breech bolt open, you should be able to move the rear pin up easily with your finger tip. It only goes into alignment when the lever is fully closed. The floppy rear firing pin is the "Marlin Safety". Make sure the pin is flush on both sides of the breech bolt and that you have not created any burrs on the pin or the hole with your punch.
#Winchester model 25 disassembly serial numbers#
Serial numbers start at 100,000 and are located on the front-right. It was produced from 1966 to 1979 except for 1974 when it was not listed by Winchester. Built in three versions Sporting Rifle, Magnum Rifle, and Carbine. Designed as a more affordable version of the Winchester Model 70. What happened in my case was that the pin protruded ever so slightly creating friction. The Winchester Model 670 is a bolt-action sporting rifle. It is a bit difficult to see but the pin should not go back in unless you have the correct alignment. This restricts the forward and backward movement on the front firing pin. This must be precisely aligned with the pin hole. The front firing pin has an elliptical slot near the front. I had a similar problem when I disassembled the Marlin Model 93 firing pin. It's also got a rare Whitney-Kennedy trapdoor buttplate serial numbered to the gun, and Lyman #7 globe, with one of a kind receiver sight. I still own that first 1893 Marlin that started the fire in me for more! Here it is with a Marlin marked mold, tong tool, and ammo for the. Back then I could get 2 and sometimes 3 Marlins for every Winchester I sold, so it was great!

As soon as I saw how ruggedly simple the Hepburn design was I began selling off my small collection of 1894 Winchesters at gun shows, and buying Marlins with the money. Of course I took it home and immediately took it all apart to see the condition, and how it worked.

Then I got into a Model 1893 by accident when I was selling a 1894 SRC in. Like others I knew, I thought of Marlins as 2nd behind Winchesters, so didn't even look at them. Quite impressed with the simple design.Īlmost hate to admit this, but back in the 1970's I had a small collection of Winchester Model 1894 rifles. I had never taken down a lever model Marlin until now.
