found another marlin this a little bit better than the first one has old weaver scope on it still looks clear the guy i bought it from said it doesn't feed shells i figured i could fix it so i gave him 100 bucks went home took it a part sure enough the spring came off the feeder mechanism put it back on works fine now going to re finish stock soon this gun was made back in the 40's my other one shoots as good as my new marlin but a lot more heavy not really a kid's gun has a nice trigger.
