#Marlin

In the announcement of the release of this product as well as in its description on their website, Ranger Point Precision points out that this hammer spur extension for Marlin lever action rifles was designed based on the features requested by the customers. Particularly, this accessory was designed with input from  MarlinOwners.com forum members. Let’s take a look at this product’s features.

While I do like using iron sights on this particular rifle, I admit: The original buckhorn sights aren’t awesome.  They’ve worked alright for hunting wild boar at close ranges, but shots past 100 yards get tricky.  I worked up a table for my 3 primary hunting loads on this rifle as to where their point of impact is at what range on what rear sight elevation setting.  Despite this, I don’t ever want to be fumbling with the rear sight elevator during a hunt.  Back when I was testing out their new extractor claw, Ranger Point Precision was also nice enough to send me one of their front and rear sight assemblies to try out.

Phil Rock aka @bufallodiller has a thing for Marlin lever guns and it shows.

For 2018, Marlin Firearms announced a number of new rifles. Two of the new lever action guns announced by the company are the Model 1894 SBL and the Model 1894 CSBL.

Although details are slim at the moment, information from multiple sources is revealing a variety of new Marlin lever action rifles set to be available to consumers soon. Heavy on the pistol calibers, Marlin is featuring the 1894CST, a threaded barrel carbine chambered in .38 Special/.357 Magnum. Long sought after by silencer lovers, lever gun hosts were sent to gunsmiths for barrel threading and, in many cases, magazine tube shortening.

A joyful, happy man, Santa Claus – or Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas or Sinterklaas – delivers gifts to good boys and girls throughout the world. After working for 364 days straight, he loads up his sleigh with packages and parcels containing everything from basketballs to jewelry. In my calculations, based on intense population studies and deep scientific research, Santa’s sack could hold up to $50 trillion US dollars worth of presents. As the lone responsible person for millions of gifts as well as delivering happiness on Christmas morning, it is only natural that we consider that he needs to protect himself and his load from all sorts of danger.

Midwest Industries has teased on their social media pages an  M-LOK forend for Marlin lever action rifles. It is not yet listed on their website and what we can tell from the very little information available is that it fits the Marlin 336 rifles. It is also compatible with older, pre-Remington Marlins. This forend is advertised to be a rigid platform for optics and accessories mounting and it is targeted mainly to the hunting market.

Recently, Houston, TX’s Ranger Point Precision reached out to me about a product they had been diligently developing for some time: an upgraded extractor claw for the Marlin 1894.  The original Marlin 1894 extractor looks like a bobby pin, and works just about as well.  Besides poorly made levers, the original extractor was the main cause of the “hitchy” feeling many 1894s have during the cycling of the action.  Another side effect of the old extractors is they can fail entirely to extract cases.  RPP’s new extractor fixes these problems with a whole new design.  Filling the extractor channel completely, with an integral compression coil spring, these new extractors engage far more of the cartridge rim, and make cycling the action far faster, smoother and more reliable.

Get a free clipazine with a Marlin rifle? Come on Marlin, you know better. I am disappointed.

Several sources have confirmed that the corporation has “released” several dozen employees, some of which hold high-ranking positions. Out of respect for the individuals named, TFB will only be releasing their general titles and departments.

The good people at Ranger Point Precision have been on quite the roll recently. As I contemplate one of their custom . 40S&W lever action carbines (yes, you heard that right), they have just announced the release of another gun from my growing wishlist: a Marlin .410 lever action shotgun. Born from a donated Marlin 336 in .30-30, the RPP scattergun is lighter and has more shell capacity than the official version released in 2004 that was built on a hefty 444 frame.

We live in a world today that is completely inundated with AR-15 pattern rifles. In 2016, for just five Benjamins – sometimes even less! – you can purchase your very own fantactical black rifle and rely on it to work when you need to and shoot where you mean to. I won’t try to say otherwise: The AR-15 series is a great design, and it deserves its place at the center of the US civilian market.

Lever-action rifles are fantastic guns whether you’re interested in a walk down Wild West memory lane, looking for a new hunting rifle, or just want a good gun for target practice. Of course, they can also be harder to outfit when it comes to after-market parts, especially optics. If you’re interested in mounting a scope on your lever-action rifle there’s something new from Skinner Sights, LLC, that just might make your life a little easier: the Skinner Express lever-action scope base.

Writing for ShootingIllustrated.com, NRA editor and author Jim Wilson raises the topic of the lever-action rifle’s role in civilian and law enforcement shooting. On Facebook, author, instructor, and gunsmith Grant Cunningham concurs with Wilson’s assessment, broaching the discussion to the public:

Remington Outdoor Company (ROC) has announced that they will be absorbing Para USA under the Remington umbrella. They will be getting rid of the Para name but keeping the products and re-branding them as Remington pistols.
