MARLIN LEVER ACTION SPRING KIT Reviews & Ratings

Easy-to-install components let you fine-tune your Marlin lever gun for a smoother-operating action and more consistent trigger pull without making permanent alterations to the rifle. Simply replace the factory hammer spring and lever-plunger spring with the springs from the kit, then use the color-coded nylon bushings and adjustment washers to select one of seven hammer spring tension settings. The difference between each setting is about 8%, so you can get the hammer spring tension that suits you best simply by choosing the right combination of bushings and washers. Tough, friction-reducing nylon bushings keep hammer spring aligned and prevent it from crawling over the front of the strut or sliding sideways on the spring plate. Complete instructions illustrated with color photos include recommendations of bushing/washer combinations that typically work best for specific calibers.

SPECS: Zinc-coated steel springs, nylon bushings/washers. Kit contains hammer spring, lever-plunger spring, (2) white hammer spring bushings, (2) blue hammer spring bushings, (4) red adjuster washers, and instructions. Fits Marlin 1894, 1895, 336, 444, 39A.

Don't buy if you shoot a lot.

We bought 3 of these kits to install on Model 39's. Might work well on a hunting rifle you only fire a few rounds out of. We use these guns for lever action silhouette competition. Every one acted the exact same way. They work perfectly when just installed then quit working. On a 40 round match, you'll get 25 shots then light hits and failures to fire. Makes no difference what combination of end caps or washers you use. The spring just gives up. Returning all 3 kits.
