Marlin 795 thread

Thank you both! Also, I have not heard of GunGenie, thank you!

Let me know what prices you find! I'm thinking maybe we can get some people into a local group buy and see if they can give us a discount? I'm shooting for a price of $120 ($100 after rebate)

Rebate is over. It's unknown if they will run it again this year

Really? wow, I didn't know that!
Good to know, thanks!

I completely forgot about the rebate, which I sent in months ago. Hmmm..

rebate tracking site:

http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Rebates/rebates_fall2011.asp

It shows my submission is now being "processed". Well, at least they didn't send the rebate and I threw it away with the junk mail!

I kept close track on (2) 795 rebates, and they were marked as "mailed out" exactly 21 days from the time they first showed as "being processed." Depending on how long it has shown as "processed," you shouldn't have too long of a wait.

How do you make Marlin 795 magazines drop free?

Been thinking of taking an Appleseed class again. I recalled from my first class how many quick magazine changes were required (I shot an AK47 the first time and didn't do too well ). But my 795 magazines are hard to remove and they take a good tug before they come out.

Is there a way I can make my magazines drop free when I press the mag release? If I sand or file the magazine well at the friction marks, is there much risk of introducing a magazine misalignment to cause a failure to feed?

Is there a larger magazine release lever available for the 795?

Thanks in advance.

You can sand and polish the magazine well. (Don't go too crazy I would imagine it could cause feeding issues if its too loose)
You can very very slightly sand the magazine bump on the back where the release contacts it.
You can very very slightly bend the release to make it require a tiny bit less force.

I doubt any of those things will ever make it actually drop free.

Some people put pull (tape / paracord) loops on them to help remove them.

Maybe you could hit the well and the top of the magazines with dry silicon lube?


There is no larger release on the market. (I have a couple designs in my head but I doubt I will ever make them)

If you look at the piece you will find it is actually both the magazine release and also the ejector.

The 795 was my very first gun, got it at the crossroads of the west in SD. Absolutely love it, crisp trigger, like clicking a mouse and the ati stock makes it super fun to shoot.

Much appreciated, Chaos!

No problem, Good luck if you decide to go ahead and try any of those mods

I shot a Ruger 10/22 for the first time yesterday and let me say that I'm glad I purchased the Marlin 795 as my first gun. It's form factor is better, easier to handle. The last shot bolt open feature is great. I could not get used to the Ruger not having that feature. The rifle is also dead accurate even in the hands of a novice like myself (okay largely because of the Eotech). I've owned the gun since August 2011 and I still love it.

Now I want some tech sights and more magazines

[Chaos47]

Holy 5 multi post! lol

Glad you like your 795. I say the same things about the 10/22.

I love my Marlin!

Oh man talk about internet issues. I did not intend to quintuple post

It's really an awesome rifle for an awesome price. I'm surprised that magazines are hard to fine.
