Got this Marlin 1894 back when I was in college in 1967. The guy wanted me to loan him 20$ for a bottle of whiskey. You never lend a drunk money for booze. You never get it back. Anyway, he offed to sell me this Marlin model 1894 (made in 1896) in 25-20 wcf for the 20$, which I took. So that is how I came to own this rifle. About 5 years after I bought it the firing pin broke so I made one out of a grade 8 bolt, which worked fine up to this day. So when the ejector stop working most of the time, I went looking for parts for it. Found some. Took it down and replace the parts and cleaned everything and put it back together. It works great again.
This is the firering pin I made. Don't laugh to hard.
And here is the rifle.
This is a fun rifle to shoot.
