Richard Wilde Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 I inherited my Dad's 80-100 year old Marlin lever action 22, model 39A. On piece that is mangled and needs to be replaced is a narrow piece of metal 2 3/16" x 3/16" with a hole at one end, but I haven't yet found it in any schematic. Any suggestions appreciated. Thx!

Richard Wilde Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I have learned that the mangled piece is called a Cartridge Stop. That variation came out in 1947, so the rifle is about that age... 75. The Stop looks like it was made from stamped metal. I ordered a replacement, but it appears too long. I suppose it still requires a few bends to make it work. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
