Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce

[CharlesV]

Cmon even in good times prices go up 10% a year, anyway, so it cant be long before 795 is $250, 300, etc. and those will be ordinary prices.

Just installed DIP Trigger guard and Trigger on my Marlin 995ss. I opted for a black trigger guard and silver trigger to match the factory ones.

So I can happily confirm for you that the following parts will fit and function in the Marlin 995ss:

15028 - M70/795 Aluminum Trigger Guard
15028 - Target Trigger 3/8" wide

The quality of the trigger guard and trigger are excellent. It is adjustable to eliminate all the pre-travel. You can also tighten the takedown screws more making the gun fit tighter to the stock.

I was disappointed that there were no instructions included. Instructions were available online but they were text only. I would have liked to see some pictures or maybe a video. Also, you will need to strip your current trigger for parts even if you get the target trigger (for springs and safety) and tools are not included. You will need several small hex keys (allen wrenches) and some small punches. I need to take the trigger apart again and lock-tight it now that I've tested the fitting.

Also, I'm kind of wishing I had opted for the "15020 - Drop In Target Trigger". I defiantly think the 3/8 is better for most people but I just drastically changed the way the trigger feels in a gun I grew up with which may not have been the smartest thing. The drop in would have been more similar to the factory trigger and still eliminated the pre-travel.

Marlin 795 Scope Mount

Fellow Calgunners,

I am currently learning about options on how to mount a scope to the 795. The diameter of the tube is 1" and had a couple of questions:

1) I'm not so sure about using a mount for the default rail on the 795. Having put tech sights on another 795 before, they slid on the rail. I then proceeded to over-tighten and thus break the screw
Should I still go this path? If so, how much torque should I apply to the screws that clamp the mount to the rail?

2) Any recommendations on a weaver or picatinny rail to mount onto the default rail? Would this be a better path than #1 to take for mounting the scope?

3) Is there a better path than #1 or #2?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I would use the "1 piece" intrigal utg scope mount that is listed on the first page. This mount has a long base which gets more purchase on the rail and does not slip.

Apply a dot of blue loctite to each screw and only do them hand tight.

Yes I would use the default rail, converting the rail would just add extra parts and height neither of which you would want.

My Girlfriend 795 rocks Williams Fire Sights, which we both like...

I like the looks of the Williams Fire Sight, how is the front sight on that Williams? i have read that some think is is too big of a dot... what do you think?

Just because its going up now doesn't mean it will stay like that forever.
$149.99 regular priced, some have been successful in making the cashier take a coupon on them too. It's on there site:

Only Dicks I know that sells firearms in Socal is the new(er) Huntington Beach location. So it might be worth the drive...

Besides them Turners is probably your best bet but they probably will have to order one as they are having a hard time keeping anything in stock it seems.

Some say Big5 have them too, but I have never seen one there.

[WeiseGuy]

Big 5 is where I got mine. I don't go to Dick's anymore....

Has an interesting checkering pattern, not my cup of tea but I thought I would pass it along.

Edit:
Found another one unfortunately its a synthetic
Looks just like the standard 795 stock but its camo.. has metal sling studs.
Unconfirmed if it fits but it looks like it should, maybe with just some sanding for the LSHO lever.
