n I recently purchased an 1893, but when I looked for a manufacture date I. Most restorations that require total redo, cost more than the gun is worth when we're done. Park 00000 n Marlin Model 336 and Models 39-A and 39-M manufactured from. Might be better to find a nice donor barrel, and sell this one to someone else.īy the time you get it done, and done correctly, you usually can sell what you have, and use the same funds for restoration, to buy a much nicer gun, that's not restored. If they go away, the restoration will also fail, unless you pay to have them redone. With the heavy pitting on the outside, it might prove to be a real challenge to polish out the pitting, and not lose all the original rollstamp markings.
Hopefully the bore is excellent, as restoring the rest, and not having a good bore is also a waste of money. Those stocks are beyond saving, as the inletting to the tangs is already too wide, and filling the gaps will only deter from the look of the gun ruining a decent restoration. That means rust bluing the barrel and mag tube, correct caseharden colors on the receiver, lever, hammer, forearm cap, and buttplate. Nothing wrong with restoring it IF you plan on doing a correct restoration.
