Marlin 20a problem

[surgical]

I've got an old marlin 20a that has a broken magazine tube (the outer one). I can't find this part anywhere. I've tried numrich and others that specialize in older guns, no dice. Anyone know if there is another gun that has a comparable magazine? One that could be cut down?

Might want to call Marlin directly, they may have the best answer.

Didn't think of that. Derp. Ill try that out.

Ok, I called marlin and it seems they really don't know much about their older guns, or don't service their early rifles. My dad took it to a gunsmith a few years ago and they broke the pin, and told him literally to F off. Any suggestions? Anyone know of any gunsmiths thay specialize in old guns?

I may just have to make one myself.
