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.

A great Improvement over Remington's

Easy to replace the factory springs on my Remington 336 version. The instructions were concise and the recommended spacer settings for the trigger spring spot on. It made a very noticeable trigger smoothness and pull improvement to the rifle. The lever detent spring replacement did not work for me. After replacing the factory Remington spring with this one, the lever indent lacked the tension from the new spring to keep the lever 'locked'. I put the original back in after polishing up the detent with some fine emery paper, far better than the dreadful factory 'lock up' the lever had previously.

Upgrade attempt

Parts were easy to install, I haven't had a chance to see if the rifle will fire with the new hammer spring, but I couldn't get the lever spring to keep the lever latched on either of the 1895 CB's

so much smoother!

It made the a action a lot smoother. The hammer falls harder and stays centered. Before the hammer would slightly ride the Right side Of The Frame. The only reason it gets four stars is because my kit was missing one nylon bushing and the plunger spring is just a tad to weak to hold the lever up while I put rounds in the tube. But it is definitely worth 20 bucks. Combined with the trigger happy kit and I latex all the internal parts with flitz, this is the smoothest rifle I own.

cheap but effective

I installed this kit on my stainless 336 30-30 after my father recomended it to me. It now cycles much smother and faster. I recomend using the firmer settings as i had a couple of rounds fail to fire on the lighter seetings(CCI primers seem to be harder than others). We hunt hogs all winter in some pretty bad conditions and it has been very reliable in the field. Overall I would recomend this product to anyone.
