Marlin 795 thread

Big 5 in Vacaville ( Norcal ) has them for $139 after rebate again.

Fresno too.

Doesn't hurt to add "please".

lol yes I agree be as polite as possible when attempting this.

I haven't tried it but when I asked a manager about rain checks he said just ask for a price match and that it would be no problem.

Also I have seen that they keep a folder of previous ads behind the gun counter at the location I go to.

I'm going to do that and see if I can get the discount. It'll be cheaper at Turner's as I checked it's listed at around 160 at Big 5.

What else are you getting for your 795 besides some extra mags and a sling?

One thing I learned is that when the forums say that the mags are tough to load then they're practically impossible. I couldn't physically load my M&P9 without a Maglula....so a babylula is definitely on the list.

A $40 3-9X32 will definitely help my aged eyes. Simmons should do it.

That's really about it. I doubt that I'll ever spring for a pretty stock. I'm a bit of a function over form kind of a guy.

I'm certainly not above doing trigger mods if necessary. My M&P9 came w/ a pretty stiff trigger while the 22a is fairly acceptable out of the box. We'll see what the luck of the draw is on the 795.

I h a gub.

gub, great idea. I was holding off getting a magula since I had some other devices for loading my 22 mark III. Since as I recall the mag is wider in the 795, I might need to pick up the baby magula too.

Does 795 only come with magazine?
I thought it would come with 2. Just want to confirm.
Local big 5 sells spare magazine for $18, is there anywhere cheaper I can get these, either online or maybe other stores?
Thanks

Comes with one magazine. Only did a quick online check and found the cheapest (currently) here:

..at least compared to:

Do some "net creepin" and you may find better. If your more of a 'brick and mortar' type, then hit big 5 when you have a 10 or 20% coupon in hand and stock up.

thanks for the reply. Love the cheaperthandirt price, but shipping kills the deal.
Have a 20% coupon which excludes firearm and ammunition from big 5, any one had success using such coupon for magazine?

The coupon is good on the magazine because it is not "firearms" or "ammunition". I bought two Mini 14 mags from Big 5 using a 20% off coupon.

Just got a mag with 20% off. Thanks for all great tips.

91XXXXX means it was made by Marlin
MMXXXXG means its a newer one made at the Remington plant. The newer Remington ones seem to have less issues then the last Marlin made ones

Got mine with MM serial # and it operated perfectly!! Love my little 795!!

[pdude]

Sweet! I'm waiting for an MM serial number 795 as well! What have you shot out of it so far?
