Thank you this brought back a lot of fond memories. I got that same model after passing hunter safety in the late 70's and still have today it wears a scope and is as much fun today.
Great videos on both the Marlin 88DL and the 80C. I own one of each, as well as several 81DL. By the way, the small bent metal piece on the top of the chamber inlet that you show at 16:45 is the cartridge guide. It helps direct the nose of the round into the chamber, especially in the case of .22 short and .22 long ammunition. It is common to see these broken off/missing because people force the bolt forward when that piece is not aligned with the recess in the bolt. The cartridge guide can be replaced if it is broken/missing, but it involves removing the barrel from the receiver. One of my Marlin 81DL is missing the cartridge guide. It still feeds .22 long rifle perfectly, but hiccups with .22 short rounds periodically. Love your .22 videos!!
i replaced one using a street sweeper blade that i normally use to clean the bong stem ..lol i was able to push the pin out pulled the barrel and bent the street sweeper blade to match the broken peace set it in place pinned the barrel back on checked the head space jic and it was like it had never broken..my buddy was stoked!
My first rifle was a Marlin Model 80 that my Grampa got as a premium from Dekalb Seedcorn Co in early 1930’s, bolt action 8 round detachable box magazine.
Wow.....funny to think someone might have that very rifle out there enjoying it.....like I enjoy my old timers. Nothing stays alive and kicking in American culture more than our firearms.....I mean, who would ever throw out a gun?
Thank you so much. After much searching finally found out why my J.C. Higgins Model 103-228 (Marlin 80) would not eject. This Thanksgiving week I wanted to do some pinking, removed the bold to run some patches through the bore and tried several times to get the bolt in wrong. Now I know that I bent the ejector. Could not loosen the screw that holds the magazine guide, extractor and take-down screw threads.Possibly has Locktite on it, so I was able to slightly bend the extractor enough to work. Not sure if I bent it more than necessary and whether it is making too much contact with the channel, but for now know what the issue was. I will probably purchase a replacement extractor from Numeric once I figure out why the screw holding that assembly is so darn tight..
I have your channel and will visit again. any comment on why the screw that holds the ejector and magazine guide is so tight? I don't know if I bent the ejector too much and might be touching the channel it rides in. Am considering just replacing it. Might first use some layout blue to see if any contact is occurring.@@MilsurpGarage
I've had a tough time sealing the deal on one of those.......something always happens. Same with the 94-22 you named yourself after......same thing. I've had at least 5 of those pulled out from under me.....once when a dealer I knew sent photos and I agreed on a price but he was far from me and brought it to a gun show located between us. It was a beautiful mint condition trapper. When I got there I learned he passed away the night before. Crazy stuff with me and the 94-22.....so I wrote it off. There are some you're just not supposed to have.
@@MilsurpGarage I bet you’ll find the right example….. they’re still out there. Won’t likely be cheap, but aren’t many things are these days. That trapper would be worth a mint! My white whale remains a Marlin 57. Super interesting rifle in my book. Happy 4th Sir 🍻🍻
You definitely sound like you need one because you would appreciate it. Plus, I do appreciate your recognizing that this takes a bit of effort. Just a bit.
You go into much more detail than any others that I have seen. As soon as you showed that Marlin book, I stopped the vid and ordered mine on ebay. Its not a cheap book thats for sure. I recently bought a 1901 Marlin 1895 takedown model rifle and hope to get more info on it. I will show it soon on my channel if you are interested. Love these Marlins for sure!
I’ve got to give you credit for the back drop on this beginning thumbnail. It has every thing the left wants to takeaway from the patriots of this Once Great Republic.👍👍👍🙏🏽🇺🇸✌🏻😎
Nice video! I recently inherited an 80 series from my Grandma. Still trying to figure out exactly what 80 model it is, though it looks almost identical to yours.
I have a Marlin Model 80, but not clear on which year it is or anything else about it. It is magazine fed, the bolt is in it, but the bolt handle is broke off the bolt. One how do I determine the model like 80-c, etc.? Also how do I I remove the bolt? Th3 photo you shared of the three rifles, it appears mine is the middle one with the acorn shaped bolt. Any information you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
@@zanefoster9352 Of course! I just meant that dating these and finding the exact model you have is not simple like on some models. The Brophy book is excellent at breaking down these Marlins as much as possible.
I misunderstood, got a lot on me right me. Mine belonged to grandfather and I’m wanting to restore it. On mine the bolt handle broke off the bolt itself. I inherited it and it came that way.
How does that takedown stud come out? Is it threaded in? I can't get mine out to save my life! May just put a pipe wrench on it and order a new one....
If you are talking about the screw I removed to take the action out of the stock, it’s just a screw. Relax with the pipe wrench....this work is about calm careful gentle actions. If its stuck, try to hit it with penetrating oil in a way where it would make it to the threads and let it soak for a day. Set it upside down and cover the screw head to run down to the threads. See if a day or two of hitting hit loosens it up.....be sure to use a bit that fits inside the screw slot tightly and doesn’t click back and forth when turning. If that doesn’t work there are other alternatives, don’t destroy it just yet.
Thank you this brought back a lot of fond memories. I got that same model after passing hunter safety in the late 70's and still have today it wears a scope and is as much fun today.

I’m fortunate enough to have an identical example. Great old rifle 👍🏻 You will NOT regret a lever action Marlin 22. I’d love to see a video on one. 🍻🍻

This has definitely got me on the hunt for one of these thanks for the work you put into these

My dad had one of them when I was a kid.
Sounds like you need to rekindle those memories with one of your own Mr. Shep.
Great video- mines A Dec. 1967 model- Christmas gift 👍🏻
Those are the best Christmas gifts!

I’ll be watching. Remind me here on this thread. That IS an awesome book.
Very nice shooting. Bullseye
Honestly? It was the rifle. It didn't move.

Whoa Nelly! You should donate this gem to my .22 cal museum. Located in Illinois.
Consider it done......and on loan to the Milsurp Garage Rimfire Museum until further notice!
O Yea Deeper In That Rabbit Hole We Go 😀❤️😊😀👍🏼 Love These Marlins 😀
Oh yeah!
Time to re-enter the Marlin rabbit hole at 1100 hours EST today.....see you there!
I have one of the first model 80s has different shaped bolt and 2 peace extractor

My advice is to get the Brophy book. If your answer isn’t in there, the question should not be asked!
@@MilsurpGarageI will look for the book, but if you don’t ask questions, you can’t learn.
Thanks for the advice.

I just bought one for $100 in 2024. If my math is right, that would have cost $10.17 in 1965!
Still one of the greatest bargains in the firearm community is the great .22 rifle! Thanks for tuning in.
@@MilsurpGarage posted a vid of mine
I just found mine After 54 yrs. still shooting 👍🏻
