So, I know the JM Marlins are ideal, right?
Okay, but how bad are the new ones, really?
Ive had a Remlin 336 in the past, put a few hundred through it with no problems...
BUT...
I picked one up from the classifoeds here today and its a newer model... Stocks looked pretty light so I thought Id strip them and refinish...
In taking things apart to get the wood off... Looks like the front sight screw stripped and someone epoxied the sight back on and dumped it off on unsuspecting members...
Or
Are these sights epoxied and screwed to the barrel at the factory and this is just a factory error?
Looks like screw is broken off, but cant tell.
Anyone else ever have the front sight off on one of these? Whats it look like?
I dont want to mess with it until I know what its original state should be
