One of my couple inherited

Modern rifles and Sportsters are discussed here.

Sportsters:
We don't advocate making Sportsters from military surplus rifles. We do recognize the ones already made in years past as pieces of history and of importance (such as the Bannerman, Blindee and old custom sportsters). If you bought one, you may show it here. Discussion of how to do this kind of work is not allowed. It is contrary to our over all forum values. So please don't abuse this forum. All final decisions will be made by the Administrators and no one else please. Non permanent alterations may be shown here but keep in mind, if it is in conflict with the "spirit" of these forums, we may remove it at our discretion.

Marlin always made a nice lever rifle, I have several in .35 rem, and 45/70, that would be the model 336, and 1895, all vintage NY built rifles before the Remington takeover. Remington screwed up the builds there for a while because they fired all the Marlin workers and hauled the old machinery from the Marlin factory off to their own plant. Problem was the Remington workers didn't know how to nurse the elderly Marlin tooling along and significant quality issues started to crop up. Remington made good on the problems, but it was irritating for owners. Now Rugar is bringing the Marlin rifles back, and I hear good things so far. Nice .44 :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
