Obsolete Gun Parts

#1 Post by Sim G »

Just a quick question, does anyone have a favourite little supplier for long out of production gun parts? My usual, Numrich, doesn't have what I'm looking for, nor does WGP in Canada!

A company in the US actually makes the part I'm looking for, brand new, but, have stopped dealing Internationally as I'm led to believe they were Royally stuffed by some Jonny Foreigner schiester......!

So, where's your favourite place?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Nah, not broken anything.....

Picked up an 1892 Marlin in .22. It was dirt cheap and looked if it was just going to be a donor gun. By the time I stripped it down and cleaned out several decades of cr@p. it turns out not to be half bad! Unfortunately, someone has had it screw cut, though....

Anyway, the ejector is the only part that needs replacing!! Possibly the forearm as well if my mate can't sort that!

So that's what I'm looking for, an ejector for an 1893 vintage, Marlin model 1892, in .22lr.

Why not contact Remington (who own Marlin) direct and ask them for some help?
Edgar Bros is an outside chance as they are Remington agents

1. Not a current catalogued Marlin model
2. Remington are barely able to produce functional Marlin rifles that ARE current models
3. EB will have zero interest, for reason no.1, PLUS do NOT supply the public, only RFDs

A better option would be to put a Wanted Ad on Rimfire Forum

Who has it in the US that will not deal with you?
I happen to know a gent in the US ;) that could get it and post it to you.
If it is legal to openly send it over.
