Thread: Marlin 25N

When i brought the rifle ammo was cheap and brought a slab of 5,000 rounds of Highland ammo which back then shot amazingly well out of the rifle. That didn't last long and its certainly had a fair amount through it after that.

There is a spring held between 2 collars on the firing rod.(main bolt body firing pin is separate in front section) and my thought so far is that when you start camming the bolt down against the trigger/ sear? its actually twisting the collar ever so slightly against the spring pressure then its being flicked back around? But the collar is pinned to the rod so would explain the rear of the bolt twisting.

I will try and get some better photos.

I am not sure if removing any metal from the little hill would cause firing issues as it isn't held in that position when being fired.

Cheers for all of the help so far.
