Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce

[elx144]

I just got mine from Big 5. So far I've taken it apart and lubed the sear and bolt thoroughly along with running some patches down the barrel. I racked the bolt a bunch of times while it was lubed to try and break off any burs. It seems a lot smoother now, I can't wait to fire it. My Tech-sights should be waiting for me when I get home. I'll follow up with some pictures once I have everything together.

One question, is it legal to bend the transfer bar that prevents trigger pulls when a magazine isn't in?

There may be over spray of paint inside the receiver. That is probably what you have smoothed out by working the action. Many people suggest taking a scrub pad to the inside of the receiver and cleaning out that paint. Personally I just let the parts polish together from shooting it.

Yes it is legal to defeat the magazine disconnect.
Just bend the Magazine Disconnect bar's tab up which will remove the pressure on the transfer bar.

Here's my 795 with a flash suppressor.

The next one is next to my M4 length AR-15.

Then its a close up of the tech-sights.

Finally the 795 with the M4 extended and an Arsenal AK-74 for comparison.

anybody know if the taticool stock for the 800/900 series would fit the 795?

No the shape of the action on the bolt actions is completely different then the shape of the semi autos.

Forgot to post this up. It's super sweet!

Is that the "Pepper" stock? I'm kinda stuck between that one, the Nutmeg and the Jacaranda...Looks sweet, by the way!

Very nice! Going to have to get one!

[Chaos47]

Looks great! So no snags installing their new 100% drop in stocks?

[Panchira!]

Yes it is the pepper hunter. Well worth the $! Believe it or not it plopped right in no modification required. Though if you want to free float the barrel you will need to do some sanding, which I'll do later. The fore grip (under the barrel) is quite longer then stock and the palm swell is a lot wider which fit me and my fiencee better. The weight balance is great the finish is mate but if you want to I'm sure you could polish or spray on a gloss veneer.

I went with the Numrich stock. It does need some grinding for the trigger guard and the bolt release to fit. Not the nicest looking stock, but it has a thicker grip than the plastic one. I'm still working on getting the flash suppressor to fit around the Tech-sight.

I had to add studs for the swivels too.

Thanks to elx144 and Panchira! for their information about stock options. The guide has been updated to reflect the new information.


And also to FUBAR for finding a new rear sight option!

I just put a 375 round box of CCI AR Tactical 40 grain 1200fps through my 795. At 25 yards every rounds was within 4" of the center. I didn't experience any jams, even when I was trying rapid fire. This is one sweet little rifle. The trigger pull really isn't bad, but my thumbs were a little sore from loading mags. I figure once the mags are broken in and my thumbs get thicker loading will be easier. My Springfield XD mags took around 1,000 rounds before I could get all ten in without having to push against the bench.

elx144, thank you for your post about the Numerich stock. I've had mine for months, only now have time to install it. Glad to know what to expect.

Hey, Gurney, this is a great saying or quote! Did you originate it?
