    Marlin 1894 Rifles
    Item
    Description
    Price
    MR1
    Action Job (polish internal parts. New Marlins are often very "crunchy") $75
    MR2
    Install one-piece firing pin and lighter hammer spring (Labor only. Subject to availability of parts)
    (these two things usually makes a marked improvement)
    $30
    MR3
    Fix the "Marlin Jam." -- (when two rounds try to enter the carrier at once) This is due to a sharp edge on the lever that cuts a groove into the carrier. I build up and round off the sharp edge on the lever so it won't cut so easily  and weld in the groove and polish it off.  $50

    Stoeger  (and similar models) Double Barrel Shotguns
    These Stoeger guns are notorious for being nearly unsuable out of the box. The triggers are very heavy, the latch spring is so stiff that a lot of the ladies can hardly open it. But they are not that expensive and, with a little tuning and polishing, they make a pretty good cowboy gun.
