I am very bored waiting for the trigger and sear spring to be shipped due to the covid 19

Ray I have a few old Marlin bolt action shotguns. Yours appears to be the Goose Gun as we called them back then.

It was so rusted that I didnt know if I could save it, and give it new life ! was so bad that I spent 1 day , just to get the bolt to move ! lot of time and effort

Love the Marlin 55! Got one several years back from a buddy of mine. Said he couldn't take the recoil. I jumped at the chance to get that, even had the 2 round magazine.
Have to say it though...its one honker of a shotgun!
Nice work getting that shotty back to the field, well at least when your parts get in.

This may be an for you to really learn trigger polishing.
I imagine it's pretty rusty, so simply take your time,
use a rust remover or ultrasonic cleaner to get the worst off,
then hand-polish all the trigger parts.
Even if it isn't perfect, it'll teach you things about Marlins,
and about practically every other trigger in the world

Or, if you are already competent in that, get a kid or grandkid
to assist in doing all that, since you have a trigger and spring coming in,
they can't jack it up too much...plus it'll be a memory they'll
keep forever, working on dad/grandad's shotgun!
You don't even have to tell 'em about the new parts

Besides, it's always good to teach 'em to Bear Arms...
