    Marlin Lever Action Experts

    That was my initial thought as well. The rusting isn’t bad and localized to a couple small areas, and the wood I think can be worked out. The biggest pain is going to be finding a couple parts that need changing and cost to set up reloading for 35 REM since the rounds are so pricey. I just...

    Marlin Lever Action Experts

    I have, the newer 336’s have a more robust screw which changed around 2009 from my understanding. I’m trying to figure out if that is listed on there works?

    Marlin Lever Action Experts

    Looking for some insight on an area of weaponry that I am not familiar with. A while ago I was given a Marlin 336RC in 35 Rem to "fix up" if I wanted it. Not wanting to turn down a rifle, I accepted and stuck it away in the safe and pretty much forgot about it. Today I pulled it out with the...

    Concentricity Adjustment and Neck Tension

    This is more of a theoretical question I haven’t found the answer to... After seating a round, I always will put it in a concentricity tool, and if the runout is greater than .002, I will use the adjustment tool to straighten the round until it is less that .002. In doing that, am I creating a...

    Stuck case in chamber

    Gents, I follow what you’re saying...Like I’ve said I do all those things and have for years. I reload in exactly that manner. What I’m asking is, is any flattening of a primer an indication that you should back off your load, or is there an acceptable amount one should expect? Additionally why...

    Stuck case in chamber

    I agree that there is flattening but do you believe any flattening to be bad? I feel that in almost all cases one could expect a certain degree of flattening but at what point do you think it becomes an absolute no go. In regards to my pictures, at 70 do you believe it to be too much? 69.5? I...

    Stuck case in chamber

    Yeah, there was a member in here who has some software that computes load percentages, pressure ranges, and whether the load would be considered safe or compressed. I’m loading in .2gr increments starting at 69 and working up through 70. I’ll be checking for pressure signs along the way. I’m...
