Marlin 795 thread

Is the weight maybe deformed in some manner making it catch? I always have to lift my rifles up so the barrel faces down and feed the string otherwise the weight won't go all the way down the barrel. The string will just bunch up.

No deformations or weird spots on it. It gets halfway down the barrel, holding the rifle muzzle pointing down and feeding from the chamber. It is the most confusing d@mn thing...

Tie a piece of fishing line or something to the end and give a tug.

D'oh!!

I feel like a f****ng moron for not thinking of that. Thank you!

I finally got to shoot my marlin back from service. No amount of polishing was helping my jam 'o matic. Turns out I had a bad extractor and ejector. Out of about 350 rounds I got about 5 failure to fires, no more stovepipes or FTE. I can finally go through a mag without a malfunction

That sounds like a definite improvement!!

Anyone selling tech sights or know where to get them cheaper than full price?

[roushstage2]

Watch the classifieds and eBay.

Used; otherwise, full price is all there is.

[2DoorImpala]

I don't mind used. I just need them for Appleseed.

DasBoost- you ever get that boresnake to work?

Used the fishing line tied to brass weight and pulled it through- what a tough b***h to get through; it was snug to say the least.

[roushstage2]

Huh, weird! At least you got it figured out though!

I just need them for Appleseed.

Tell me about it. I'm placing an order tomorrow morning. In fact, I'm getting them for the 795 and the SKS.

Anathema for the purist collectors but I'm a pure shooter. I will give em a shot. I know husband and wife teams that shoot very well with the SKS / Tech Sights past 200 yds without any specialized training. I expect to confirm that.

ps. Per used sights for the 795: I can't imagine anyone parting with them for less than what they paid. But, anything's possible.

[roushstage2]

So why Tech Sights over a scope?
PS- There is a new set of Tech Sights for a 10/22 on eBay for $44 plus $5 shipping, at present. You can find them a bit cheaper after all. Just have to find the right ones from the right seller.
