I have a Marlin 925 .22, it is a bolt action rifle with a 7 shot clip and has a tasco scope on it. This is my favriot .22 that I'v ever shot, and I'v shoten many guns includeing a few Ruger 10/22s. I just wanted anyone looking to buy a .22 that this is what I would buy if I had to buy another .22. Does any one else own the same gun on here?
i got the same rifle with a synthetic stock and bushnell sportsman 4-12x40 AO scope. ive pushed it with federal value pack ammo to hit a steal plate at 400 yards. accuracy was terrible but i got it
i killed my first squirrel with it and would trust my life to the rifle!
so the 880 barrel will fit the 925? ive put about 17000 rounds through my 925R and accuracy isnt what it used to be. do you know of any standard barrels that would work for it? i got great accuracy with the standard barrel on mine when it was new

Yep, the 925 barrel will work just fine...but they're out of stock @ Numrich.
If you want a SLIGHT upgrade, get a barrel from a model 700, which is Tapered...heavy at the back, normal-ish at the crown. Should give you better precision, but at around $34, it's WELL worth it Minor stock mod required to fit the barrel. Firearm Parts and Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts Corp. | e-GunParts.com

so i could use the standard stock from the 925R that i have on it right now, just sand it to fit the barrel? and i would have the accuracy of a heavy barrel? sounds like a great deal!! might have to order one

Pretty near it...from all reports it should place you somewhere between a regular barrel & a heavy barrel...which is about what you'd expect.
The hard part is that the 925 barrel is Press Fit into place, and is a TOTAL pain to get out (after you remove the barrel pin). But sometimes you get lucky and they pop right out with little effort...you just never know.
Might want to research Marlin barrel replacement a little before you cough up the $$$.

true...i always thought that you needed one of them fancy wooden barrel vices from wheeler engineering to remove a barrel, or take it to someone who has one. are there other methods that you can do at home for free?
also...would having fired a huge amount of ammunition through a gun make the barrel easier to remove or harder? i mean, i could see it either beeing shaken loose from all the heat and vibrations, or it could be even more press fit and tighten after every pull of the trigger
Well, depends on what sort of tools you have around the house...one guy just used a large drill press & pushed it out by sticking the barrel thru the center vise hole & letting the action be held in a leather-jawed vise. Another had to use a bar & a sledgehammer while the action was in a vise...carefully.
Sometimes it's just the rust of many years holding it in...a bath (or several) in WD-40/Parts Blast/Freeze-Off is usually a good starting place after you remove the barrel pin. If there is any wiggle after that, it should slide right out. That's happened several times, heck, it's the best result...LOL
If it was me, I'd try the easy methods, maybe give it a careful whack or three, and if it showed no signs of coming loose at all...I'd be taking it to a Gunsmith and letting them handle removal...they've usually got the proper tools for the job.
