[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3300411, member: 34578"] So, $30 for a Marlin 10 rd magazine (appears this uses the same mag as the Marlin 89c) and $5 for set of new recoil springs. I have learned a few things about this rifle from researching it, fixing it, and shooting it. 1. It was designed by Marlin for Ithaca. Hence the compatibility with the Marlin magazine. 2. It is a royal PITA to take apart. This explains why when I did get it broke down to clean, it was full of decades worth of gunk, oil, and residue. 3. It not only has a receiver built like a tank, but a super massive bolt and 2 recoil springs. See pics below. 4. Recoil. What recoil? This thing is so heavy and beefy that being a .22, there is no recoil. None, nada, zip, zero. 5. It runs like a champ. It will do a mag dump without a hiccup. I tried to make it jam and it never did. So now the question: Do I leave it the way it is? Or do I refinish the stock and clean it up a bit?
