Marlin 795 thread

[Chaos47]

eeek I would not work on the mag well to get a magazine to work. I might work on the magazine with a jewlers file I can see where its got marks on the rear part. It wont even go into my 795 but it will go into my Girlfriends but its a pain to pull out. That and she says it doesn't feed properly. The other one we got from that batch wont feed either I really need to call Marlin..

I've always got mine from CDNN when they happen to have weekend shipping deals. Don't think they have had any for a while.

I and a couple other people received out of spec magazines and then shortly after the magazine shortage started. Call it a coincident but I think Marlin found they had an issue and had to fix it...

Yeah I had one defective from big 5 and returned it. I always thought it was funny reading about all these people dremeling there magwell to make it fit.

My mags dont drop free and I have to use one hand to hold mag release and the other to pull mag out, but was told it's because they're new and just need to be broken in... I know that can be the case with mag springs, but never figured how it would work with the mag body itself...

The actual mag body was defective on mine. I compared it to the oem that came with the 795 and on the side of the mag, their is a metal "spine" and mine was actually ever so slightly bent. The only way I noticed it was when i had both sided by side. I even brought my original mag to show the mgr at big 5 and he was surprised.

Edit: added pic

The spine is on the left side and is flush to the mag body.

Yes, 795 magazines do not drop free, you do need to tug them out.

The issue with mine was the same as Davids.
The spine plate they wield on are over sized on the 2 that give me issues.

Chaos47, DasBoost, David310, and all 795'ers,

Too bad we can't put our money together and make 1 Mammoth order of magazines and get a decent price break!

I love this Rifle ! It stands out from every other gun in the range. 45's, 9mm, .357 Magnums, . 38s and other .22's.

The sound alone makes people " look " at what's goin down in your lane.

Single Action & 795'in,

R.B.A.

ps. It takes a Range that allows Centerfire Rifle shooting to possibly drown out the distinct crispness of a Marlin 795.

Ok, I see what you mean now; mine are all uniform and fit well.

Ok, thanks.

Get a few pallets of 795 mags at a great price, have a couple bricks worth of 22 loaded in mags, I see no problem with this. Was thinking of bringing it to the Sea Cadet training I'm helping at but I'd want to shoot it myself and wouldn't let it go. Bringing the K31 instead. I think the youngin's will like that.

And the 795 does have a nice distinctive sound to it, even compared to other 22s. Definitely not a bad thing.

I'm placing an order through Brownells/Sinclair Intl, and I figured I'd take a peek and see if they have any mags in. Out of stock at $30.99! I'll wait I guess until they start popping up regularly...

HOLY CRAP! I paid 17.99 @ Big 5 and 18.99 @ MidwayUSA! Do they at least send the buyer a coupon to The Olive Garden or Red Lobster after the **** them like that?

As long as it's hot college girl that sells to me, I guess it's alright.

Haha.

ps. Anybody have any unique cleaning techniques for the 795? Or is it pretty much run a bore brush through it twice and lube it lightly.

I'm also waiting for mags to drop in price, I'd sure like to stop callusing up my thumb to reload the one I have. I wonder what they're doing for customers who send in defective mags.
Also here's a work in progress pic of my 795, need a proper sling and tech sights.

Can't see who sells to you online (Hint: 24yr old Bridget is actually 40yr old Brandon )

As for cleaning I use my normal gun cleaner and boresnake and then lube the normal points and a light coat of gun oil on metal.

Looks great, very cool color. I was thinking of using my leftover synthetic stock as a trial for camo patterns.

Couch Island: You can be the Riddler in the Dark Knight Returns. lol.

Das Boost: Yeah, that's a bit left of center for my tastes ! But I don't condemn. haha.

No kidding! I guess I did it right when I went with a Marlin 60 this last time around, lol. No mags to worry about!

Here's the reloading answer, works quite well.
