Marlin 795 thread

[CharlesV]

I didnt know there was such a map, if not i wanted to create one. What im after is a national pictorial to show the freest, medium and least freest states in terms of overall gun laws. Maybe we could work on it together or start a thread, Build Our Map and let everyone contribute.

Youtube people seldom say where they are from, but i see cheaper weapons and also all sorts of odd and desirable weapons, equipment and accessories totally unknown in CA. I always wonder where the h--- is this? Its like another planet. But then too, people build illegal stuff and its just torturous eye candy.

Ha...yeah not just a free state but a cheap state too. I guess the MFRs think californians are rich so they adjust. Speaking of that, has anyone seen a map of US showing red, yellow and green states to depict the level of freedom across the country?

I guess Dicks can pick and choose locations, Walmart did. WHY, i dont know.

True, if Wally world pulls that crap, I suppose a smaller chain can too... As far as the map, one member has it as their signature; it's a GIF and shows the progression from '86 or '88 until 2010 I believe. It's the CCW one I believe, if we're talking about the same one.

Not only is it as good as it gets but dont forget the prices have been steadily rising too. Plenty of people on YT report paying $99 only recently. I'll guess the popularity of the 795 and 60 will soon push up to or more than 10/22. $150 isnt a fire sale bargain but its an A+ value.

Where are the YT people from? I imagine in a free state it doesn't have the CA-markup and is priced like any other .22 plinker.

I hope it has!

I saw them at the Dick's in Fresno; I know it's not SoCal, but would a large chain really cut off a certain area from selling firearms?

I thought Dicks didnt sells guns in SoCal, has it changed?

I hope it has!

Turners has them on sale for 150. And that is a decent price for 2012..

While it might be a bit far from you they have a San Marcos location...

$150 new is about as good as it gets and I don't think any "rebate" offers are coming up this year or any time soon.

Wow,

You missed Dick's sporting black Friday sale, they had them for 129. Turners had them for 149 which is the normal price at Dick's plus they don't charge the $5 handling fee. Last time I saw them on sale at big 5 they were 159.

Usually they'll run about $150-180 in my are; I'd say try Big5, they seem to have the best prices for them and put them on sale fairly regularly.

Right! Im a card-carrying natural born tinkerer but not with guns. Im telling you....i swear my luck.... im going to touch one wrong thing inside and that bullet will come out the barrel, take off somewhere and swing around in a huge circle and blow my butt clean off! I go to gunsmiths...at least i have someone else to blame when said butt goes missing.

[DasBoost]

Ok....i havent been able to ever shoot my 795 because its spent all of its life in the factory repair shop. But my 60, it was so great right out of the box i refused to touch it for anything. Im shooting the living daylights out of this gun with no issues and im not modding anything.

Someone said these guns are cheap enough to be tinkering, kitchen table guns and i agree with that when at least the gun is in the hands of someone who enjoys the tinkering and knows how to backtrack their steps to get out of messes they voluntariliy created. Because of the serious safety issues involved Im not one of them, i just want to leave alone a clean reliable gun and enjoy the crap out of it.

To encourage you, look how many dumb people here got in huge messes and eventually figured it out and then became the experts everyone else went to for advice. Mess-making breeds knowledge. I would say take your 60 to a gunsmith but thats the non-tinkerer talking. Now you can stick with it yourself and become the expert others will go to later.

As long as you feel safe and comfortable, I second the bolded part; if not, find a gunsmith or CGer that will walk you through it. I learned a lot from this thread about the Marlin .22s (you can probably find some of my dumb questions further back in the thread, especially when putting on the new stock and DIP setup ). Biggest thing, is to be safe, obviously.
