Bent Barrel? Marlin 30-30

[Andy54Hawken]

Thanks for the video! Honestly, I thought you were thinking it was a bolt action rifle.

I've got an old Marlin model 93 I inherited from my grandfather. Well, actually he gave it to me a couple of years before he passed away. I've shot it sparingly but never considered attempting to remove the bolt. I would have figured that was work for a gunsmith. Now I'm curious.

Thanks again. (I'm never too old to learn. )

Marlin models :
1893 / 93
36 and 336 ...
All can have the bolt removed the same way....easy to do.

However...be sure to keep track of the ejector...it comes out easily....and just as easy to lose...or re-install.

Hmmm.... I'm only a C- mechanic/gunsmith. Maybe I'll leave well enough alone and only remove the bolt if it needs removing.

Wouldn't be the first time I took something apart and couldn't get it back together.

I think the 93 bolt removes the same way, but just a "square" bolt instead of a round one.

Marlin models 1893 / 93 /36 and 336 lever action firearms are easy to take apart ......
And put back together.

I just mentioned that pesky ejector , 'cause it is easy to remove when taking the bolt out....
However now that you know and are aware ...it ain't a problem.

If your sight is centered on the target, but the barrel is pointing to the right of that point, up close the bullet will only go a little to the right. But if you stretch that distance, the angle the bullet is travelling compared to the sight stays the same and the bullet continues to the right. Distance doesn't change the angle, it just makes it more obvious.

Which is even more important when using dead reckoning in flight. If you make a mistake of one degree, you might be off who knows how many miles by the time you got to the end of flight. And not know where you were.

I bought one of these for my .270 wsm thinking it would be the ticket to easy sight in after changing scopes, boy was I wrong. it didn't work for me at all.
