Marlin gunsmith suggestions?
« on: March 30, 2009, 08:49:37 AM »
I'm looking for a gunsmith who specializes in Marlin leveraction rifles. In particular. I'd want someone to tune and slick up action, as well as do a trigger job.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

What caliber/model?  Are you talking about a hunting rifle or for Cowboy Action Shooting, etc?

You may want to check out Wild West. They did a great job on my buddy's Guide Gun. They offer trigger jobs, action jobs, large loop levers, scout set-ups, and rechambering.

Ah, good questions. It is for a 45-70 hunting rifle.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check out Wild West.

Wild West Guns is perhaps the worst place you could send it to.  Try Brockman, Nonneman, Clements, Lee's, McPherson, Clay or Reeder.

I recently had some work done on some Ruger revolvers by John Linebaugh and I asked him about having a few things done to my Marlin lever action rifle. He recommended Reg Nonneman 660-786-2443 for custom gunsmith work on the marlin lever action. Although I have never had any work done by him, I don't think John Linebaugh would make this endorsement unless he was certain the guy did quality work.

Good ideas fella's. Thanks.

I'm just south of K.C. so Reg Nonneman would be handy for me.
