  1. MARLIN MODEL 81 DL REPAIR NEEDED

    Dan Excellent fotos. On my rifle, with the bolt closed, the right side extractor and parts (appears to be same as in ur foto), were missing from the bolt when I traded for it. Got all three parts from Numrich. After soaking and cleaning the bolt I installed the new parts with no improvement in...

  2. MARLIN MODEL 81 DL REPAIR NEEDED

    Thx for all the tips and I'll give them a try. Another friend found an 81 at a pawn shop nears Conyers but the guy wanted $200, said it was broke but wouldn't come off the $200. Several on gunbrokers, advertised as needing repair but prices around $150. Hard to spend that much $$ for a parts...

  3. MARLIN MODEL 81 DL REPAIR NEEDED

    I have a very nice older Marlin M81DL .22 that will not eject spent cartridges. When I traded for it, it was missing the right ejector claw, spacer and spring. The gun was also very dirty. I spent a lot of time cleaning the chamber and bore and even soaked it and the bolt in carb cleaner...

    MAUSER MASTER OR MACHINIST NEEDED

    "Bubba" thought it would be easy to drill some holes on an otherwise very nice Spanish Mauser to mount a scope. This is the second one I've come across like this. The holes aren't straight, wallowed out and completely through the top of the receiver to the bolt. A traveling friend of mine...

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    While "on tour" for Uncle Sam in the '60s I remember chopper pilots with similar shoulder holsters. Found a decent used holster on ebay with about the right patina to complete the package. Thx for all the help and advice from the ODT community. And remember teach your kids to shoot. Capn

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    I looked at every angle and decided to leave it stock with the .38SW round. I shot it last weekend and the 146 grain Magtechs shot great. Found the original style grips on ebay and now have the gun back to the all stock configuration. Shopping now an inexpensive used leather holster to...

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    You're right. Additionally, S&W had contracted with Britain to build them a light machine gun but during the tests they were so unreliable Britain dumped them in the ocean and SW owed them a ton of money. SW was almost bankrupt so to pay off Britain they built the revolvers in .38 SW caliber...

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    Fellow Traders, I thot I would add one last comment on the WW II S&W Victory. The Magtech .38 SW's were 146 grain and shot great. The four inch barrel shot a 5" pattern at apprx 10-12 yards which, I figure isn't too bad for me at 70 years old. The pistol was tight with a light trigger and very...

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    OK, I'm not straddling the fence of indecision any longer. Went surfing again and found the best deal on .38 SW Magtech from surplusammo.com. I had purchased from Buffalo Bore years ago but they didn't have much selection on the .38SW. Thanks again. Capn

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    As usual, ODT members to the rescue and thanks for all the tips. Prior to posting my inquiry I surfed and found that accuracy was an issue but I'm not into competition and as a house gun the distance would not be much. Also, I wasn't too concerned about devaluing the pistol since the market was...

    Convert S&W Victory .38 SW to .38 Special

    I recently picked up a decent S&W Victory in .38 SW caliber. I have read it was not uncommon to drill the cylinder to shoot the longer .38 spl cartridge. I know the SW is .003 larger diameter than the special but this won't be used for competition and there is not much collector value for the...

  13. Stoeger O/U Barrel/Stock Interchange?

    OK, being the good southern grandpa that I am, several years ago I bought my granddaughter a Stoeger 20 ga o/u with a youth stock. Now she's 16 and needs a regular stock. I don't want to tack on 4" of spacers and Stoeger wants me to send them the gun post paid for a custom fitting. As many of...
