Marlin reassemly problem ... solved

[Arminius]

Many thanks to:

It enabled me to disassemble my Marlin 1894c without problems, and it did help me on reassembly, too!

( I F***ING HATE the sentence: "reassemble in reverse order"!!!!! )

But the most icky thing at reassembling is to push in on that bar on the trigger spring assembly.

When it came to that §$%&#*!!! phase, the pushing in of the hammer spring assembly, I had an IDEA!!!!

After several trials I knew, it really was a §$%&#*!! operation.

Comes my idea:

I took an empty cartridge case ( .308 in my case ), and put it over the strut.

The square case mouth enabled me control of the bar, and the cartridge head, a nice flat, broad surface with rounded edges, to put a finger on it, and a second one of the other hand on top of it, and with the rifle muzzle down on my working table it was quite EASY to simply push down until the bar snapped in its groove.

Maybe all of you know this, but I didn´t read anywhere about it, and it makes this Operation a SNAP!

Yup, one of those things that one must develop his own method of handling.
Glad you got it without getting mad and throwing the whole D#*&% thing over the fence.
