Marlin 795 thread

Sajedene, Didn't mean to bum you out - when you pick up your new rifle, we'll go shooting again. It'll be fun

[Beetle Bailey]

I usually just run dry patches thru my .22lr guns. If groups open up, then I use some bore foam and patch it out.

[2DoorImpala]

Mine is the same way. The first picture is normal wear and as far as the bolt goes, mine came like that. Only the side of the bolt that shows got polished. The other surfaces (hidden until you take the rifle down) all show tooling marks. I didn't mind because the price is so low, and I wasn't expecting Old World Craftsmanship.

Thanks, but if i polish it myself would i run into problems?

I ended up ordering this last night. It looks pretty

So excited! I have a bunch of ammo, a case will be arriving (funny, my friend on fb also recommended a supressor - but the website he gave me I don't know which one would work www.gem-tech.com)

A fake suppressor on a GSG-5 is as natural as apple pie. On a .22lr AR-15 upper, it's bad@$$. On a Marlin 795, it just doesn't look right, IMHO. It's got more of a traditional hunting rifle look. That laminated stock, however, is slicker than snot!

Yes for the 795, to make it "tacticool". ....

Sorry, I don't have a fake one, will a real one work?

^^^I gladly stand corrected! Wow!

[Sajedene]

Nice and nice !

I don't see why you would run into problems but I can't speak from experience.

As for the laminated stocked, suppressed Marlin 795 HotRod9mm posted,

I wish I could go squirrel hunting with that thing

Funny, I was thinking the same thing!

[Sajedene]

Heeey! I can be part of the squirrel hunt now too!

[Beetle Bailey]

Well, there's a few obstacles, first one being you have to pass a hunter safety class so you can get the annual license. I'll fill you in next time I see you. But your Marlin will humanely dispatch a squirrel although I now use my Savage in .223 rem.

So, I'm going to ship my rifle for warranty work but I have never shipped a gun before. I'm just wondering, do I need a copy of the gunsmith ffl and what kind of box do I have to ship it in? TIA

[MaHoTex]

Stick it in the box which was shipped with it. Also, you will want to use a LOT OF BUBBLE WRAP! I used 2 boxes, one for the inner carton and another for the outer carton.

I took the boxed up rifle to my dealer and asked them to print a UPS label and have the UPS guy pick it up. Otherwise, you have to take it to the depot. You can not take it to a local UPS shipping center.

Thanks, I'll see if my local ffl will ship it.
