Marlin gunsmith in Surrey
Posted: Sun May 16, 2021 4:20 pm
Can anyone recommend a gunsmith in the Surrey / North Hampshire area who can sort out my Marlin 1894?
The problem is that the screw that holds the loading-gate spring has pulled right through the receiver wall, so it doesn't work too well. Looks like a manufacturing fault as I measured the little bit of the remaining receiver that was left trapped between the screw-head and the loading gate spring and it was only 8 tho' thick. However as the gun's about 20 years old, I doubt it will be covered by the guarantee.
I'm loath to use the well-know place at Bisley as I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there.
Thanks
