Pulling the Marlin 1894 out of the safe to start working on cleaning it up from a long time in there.

Order of business.

 

Clean, shoot it to see if there are any major issues and then send the lever out to be reworked into a large loop. Then possible tune up.

 

In asking around I have put together a list of various recommended screwdriver bit sizes.

Does this list look accurate?

 

Marlin 1895 set: 180-2, 180-3, 180-4, 270-4

Marlin 336 set: 120-3, 180-3, 180-4, 200-3, 240-3, 270-3, 300-4

Marlin 1894 set: 180-4,210-4,270-4,270-5

 

Which is the specific one to remove the lever on a 1894?

 

Thanks!

I never bought special tools for my Marlin lever guns. To take off the lever you will need an extra thin and wide flat blade screwdriver. I just happened to have one.

Grace USA has been making gun tools since 1941.

Very good tools,check out there web site.

an old screwdriver and a grinder wheel will make one just like that,, personally i like to see how inventive i can be before i throw the towel in and order the proper tool :-)
