Costs on deactivation vary, quality of the work can also vary considerably..

A benchmark price for deactivation and cert is £150, so unless you want to keep it as a wall hanger its not really worth doing, I would go the repair and keep route, Saddler's mate might be worth a shot as it really is a good idea to find someone familer with these rifles.

Thanks to Blu for sourcing a new part for me. I've gone ahead and ordered one.

Thanks to everyone else who looked too :cheers:

You're welcome and only too happy to help. It's just a case of knowing where to look. For lever rifles a lot of the smaller cowboy action web sites are the best places to check out.

Well done.

Got it reassembled and functions perfect again.

Thanks again to all that helped, I'll be giving the Marlins a break this weekend.
