Marlin 36 A 30-30 Need help with part. Pic's

[reo]

Picked up this Marlin 36A at the local gun shop for 200, with Redfield 4x scope. The stock was really rough. I pulled it off and refinished. During disassembly the magazine tube stud screw head snapped off. Drilled it out. I have tried Brownells, Numerich, and Midway for a replacement with no luck. Any ideas?

The rifle shoots 1" at a hundred with factory 150's. While refinishing the stock I noticed some carving near the butt plate. Inscribed was "Nov 22, '48 4 PT". Wonder if it was a deer or elk?) My daughter will be using it this year for a deer. We will see if she can have a repeat of its previous owner, after 60 years.

try and email the guy listing this auction: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =106159109

If all else fails and you can't find a replacement part, then I'd just get a standard screw from brownells of the correct thread pitch and cut to size and use that - if that's not possible, then redrill and tap the hole to the next size up and go that route.

Thanks Griff but it won't work. I may have to redrill and tap.

O.S.O.K. thank you I just got an email off to him.

Model 1893 parts/screws will work. I have had to do that with my 36 also.

Yup, my 36D had broken firing pin but Numrich had none for the 36D so I took a chance and ordered one for a 1893, and though slightly different in profile the fit and operation was perfect.

Thats a nice rifle you have there. Thanks for the pictures. Good luck with the parts. Please keep us updated.

Just curious, how old is your daughter and is she single? - any girl that can handle a .30-30 lever gun is good in my book.

Hmm, 1893 is sounding good I'll give it a try. Daughters sixteen and her younger sister will be using a 336 SS she got two days ago for her birthday. I'm trying to keep both of them away from guys with nicknames like wildman though.

Sounds like a great family when both sisters shoot leverguns. Your daughters are safe from me, way to young and they pack nice guns. LOL!!!
