hi yall,
im new to this forum, and a new marlin owner. couple of years ago i got a marlin model 25, it was beat to heck and still capable of shooting somehow. it had no front sight, no magazine, rust flakes on the outside of the barrel so bad it had no visible bluing at all. someone had used it for a prybar or baseball bat and the forestock was all splintered. underneath the reciever the screw in trunion that holds the lockwork in place was broken, took it to the shop and welded it back, added a cheap $ 16.00 scope and now it gives dime size groups at 25 yards. i just couldnt get rid of the old shooter and give it a try to fix it up, and it shined up pretty good.
has anyone in this forum had any experience with these rifles? any info on techniques to accurize them? any info on the marlin model 25 would be a great help to me for i know nothing at all about em. thanks.
