Topic: another project rifle Posted: 22 June 2003 at 16:09
Had her for a while, a Marlin model 37 pump. Laid off the other projects today and started to work with her. Reasonable shape, cracked buttstock, no buttplate, loose replacement front sight. Took down the buttstock today and glued/clamped the crack, started fitting a replacement buttplate I had laying around. Rifle is funtional, but I don't know about accuracy. Bore and crown are fine, I've got high hopes.

Caliber is .22 Rimfire. Rifle has an interesting magazine.
It is a tube magazine, but instead of a removable insert as is common
today, on this rifle the outer magazine tube moves and the interior tube is stationary.
I'll get pictures when I can.
