Thread: Gunsmith for lever actions?

Can anyone recommend a gunsmith to shorten and thread
My marlin 336? Cheers

Any good gunsmith can do the job

Dean Maisey can do it.
Gunworks have in the past but maybe it was a Robbie pet project.

Cheers mate. I will get in touch with him

However to expand on the first question which seems to be answered. Which Gunsmiths do people recommend for Marlins, Winchester 92s-94 etc repairs. Sorry for thread highjack.

Any Engineer, for that matter. I'm not sure if he's still kicking, but Thomas Rahn in Howick used to take on the odd job. Your friendly local gunshop (SAI, Serious Shooters, H+F, Guncity) should be able to point you to someone local.

Repairs to what? Wood , metal, barrel, springs?

Repairs to action. Of a Win 94. Sorry for late reply

What about trigger jobs? Thinking of getting a Marlin 30/30 or 45'70 and have heard the aftermarket drop in parts for triggers are limited?

Welding? or malfunction? Again, it's all engineering territory.

Ask Reloaders in Onehunga, I don't know specificaly about Marlin but they get timney and vq parts etc.
But also, engineer can make or modify, though it may be cost prohibitive.

G'wan, I bet you could make one yerself.

They may look like that in a rossi 92 but in a 94 that is a bit of an over simplification, no way I would like to make one from scratch if there was any other option. However your right I think I can repair it myself.
