No model number or anything. They were never on the website. I actually talked to a guy on the phone when I ordered. He described what he had, I choose walnut, gave him my card info and he shipped em. Give em a call.

I have never needed to say it to an officer, but I am always going to or from a gun shop.

I got hit a few years back in my MPV, similar damage, plus taillight. $1300. Took the cash and hit ebay. Bought a new bumper cover, painted, for $300 and a taillight for $90. The bumper cover arrived with cracked paint from shipping. Got a full refund from from DHL and I got to keep the bumper. Total profit... $1210. Yes, some hassle and a half day spent fitting and priming, but that is a lot of $. I will take getting in a fender bender any time, any place. Glad no one was hurt.

Any thoughts on 9mm carbines on pistol side?

I just had my first year anniversary as a gun owner and I would estimate at 2000, not including .22.

This gun intrigues me as well. I am not crazy about the varmint look, but I could deal to get a fun bolt gun that take AR mags. A scout rifle version would be super cool. Will wait for more info.

Lets just say that I was surprised with a brand new rifle shipped to my door.

Update... UPS guy came today with a brandy new in the box 795. Old rifle was too busted to fix. That is pretty decent service if you ask me. Of course, the 795 probably only costs Marlin about $26 to make, but I am pleased. Now off to shoot it and hope for the best.

Did I read that Marlin is making a M1 carbine .22 again?

I cleaned it thoroughly before shooting. I also used some 400 grit on the bolt. It was super rough in certain spots. Lets see if Mr. marlin has an issue with that. I was using lead round nose AEs. My other guns, including my 60, seem to like the federal stuff. They all like CCI, but I balk at $10 per 100. I will ship the gun out on Monday and keep you all posted of the results. I do like the rifle and have already bought too much stuff for it. I am hoping they can get up and running properly.

I second storybook land. Also, the cowtown rodeo in Salem County is awesome for kids. I took my son a few years back and he still talks about. Camping nearby, too. The Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven used to have kids plays during the day in the summer. Follow a show with the ice cream shop next door, an evening of rides at Fantasy Island and Burgers at Buckalew's. Ah, Buckalews. Many a wasted evening........

Today was the first outing with my brand new Marlin 795. I shot about 200 rounds or so, with the occasional fte. This same thing happened to my Marlin 60 last year, but it eventually got over it, so I was not too concerned. A few times, the bolt did not close all the way on a round and I needed to assist it forward. I pull the trigger, something sounds weird, and I see a shell that had a fte. It was barely stuck in the bolt so I flicked it free. The bolt went forward, I aim, pull and then, this happened (see photo). Shell on left is the one that failed to eject. The shell on the right is the one that followed. Ammo is American Eagle by Federal. I am new to this, but I am guessing that the bolt was not fully in battery but far enough along to drop the hammer. I knew not to continue shooting as a bullet may be stuck in the barrel, and sure enough, 3 inches from the muzzle is the bullet. I can't budge it and don't want to deal with it. Now I get to send my new rifle back to Marlin in NY. Not feeling very good about the rifle. After the ejecting and jamming issues my 60 had, and now this, I may try a lever or bolt gun next.

I have little kids at home. Any old toy that has no value makes a great target ...... happy meal toys, beat-up action figures, anything from the dollar store that the kids bring home from parties, army men, etc. My 9-year-old gets great pleasure in setting up an advancing army of toys and then picking them off with his Savage Mk II.

Classic monster finger puppet. 50 cents of retro coolness.

My slide release is also floppy. I had never noticed it before and compared it to a new rifle at the shop. The new one was less floppy, but still had more play than I remembered mine having. They suggested I shoot it and if something breaks, send it in for warranty repair.

I have a Beretta Storm carbine in 9mm. I am not crazy about the peep sights. I do not care for the tunnel vision of the rear peep and I find the front hard to locate, especially indoors. What are my options? Is the rear peep able to be swapped out for one with a larger diameter? Can the front sight be swapped out for a hi-viz glowy thing? Or a HK style front? Could I use the picatinny rail to mount a pistol-style 3 dot sight? I would like to keep the rifle fitted with iron sights. Thanks for the opinions.

Beretta USA sent me an email saying that the kit was on sale. Buy the $249 kit, get a free mag.

The Beretta Neos Carbine kit appeals to me, but I have not seen one in any LGS. Is it NJ OK?

Add a water tower and you are good to go.

I think I may take the chance. I don't imagine a ranger would take my gun if I was caught. It's not like I am shooting 30-06. Like my grandma always said, it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Ocean Tactical in Bayville had a model 10 with a massive target barrel. Owner said is was some kind of custom police target gun with click adjustable sights for different distances. Thing weighed a ton and he was asking $400 2 months ago. I think it is still there.

So, can I shoot other rimfire calibers at WMAs? I would love to try out .17 HMR and shoot it at a casual place like a WMA, but I want to make sure a DEP ranger is not gonna bust me.

Settle down everyone. I did not say the recoil was unmanageable. Or painful. Or that it bothered me. Or that I was unable to handle it. I simply meant that, having never fired 100 rounds of a proper rifle cartridge before, and knowing that the 223 is one of the smaller rifle rounds, it surprised me with its recoil. I have shot a few .308s and Mausers, but never more than a few rounds at a time. I will try again next week and see what happens with my technique. Thanks for the recommendations.

I will get out again next friday and see what happens. I will have more time to play with the sights then, too. Thanks for the replies.
