I am an avid outdoorsman that has been involved in outdoor activities since the late 1970's. I recently started making videos as a hobby, to share my experiences and knowledge of hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and outdoor equipment such as fishing gear, sporting guns and hunting ammo, archery equipment, and other outdoor related gear and gadgets as they pertain to outdoor activities. I hope to relay a message of true sportsmanship, and ethical hunting and fishing practices to anyone that enjoys the great outdoors.
Just anecdotally I think Remington ammo has improved now that vista owns it. I’d given up on their 9mm until now too. The latest Remington I’ve tried has been much better.
Got a old weaver g4 scope the cross hairs are falling down what's the fix. Also got a cooey winchaester 64 A .22LR took all screws out and the barrel action seemed like it was bedded to stock. Do you think someone did bed it or was it just because the gun was cocked. Could that hold it in the stock real tight like that
I'm in Florida and our squirrels are so skinny they don't seem to be worth it. They will squawk at you around your house by the dozen, head into the woods to hunt and they disappear. LOL
I had the Marlin 99M1 .22. I got it for Christmas when I was 12 years old. My Dad bought it from K-Mart for $35.99 new, including a scope. It had the world famous "micro groove barrel. " and I could drive tacks with it. I'd give anything if I still had it. By the way, back in the early 80s, a guy that worked for me in my automotive shop and knew I loved guns and that I worked on guns as a hobby, brought in an old Marlin Glenfield and said it wouldn't work and asked me to see what was wrong with it. I checked the chamber to make sure it was unloaded, then parked it behind my office door where it sat several days. At one time or another every guy in my shop picked it up and handled it and pointed it around looking through the scope. I took it home to my basement workbench and started taking it apart and found that the magazine tube was clogged up with grease and dirt and had 10 live rounds in it!!
Thanks for the review but “Every” rimfire rifle I own has a preference for certain hunting ammo. Most prefer Eley subsonic HP’s or RWS HP’s. They’re expensive but I don’t mind paying for quality. Those European brands shoot 50% or better in accuracy than CCI.
I agree fully. Eley, RWS, SK, and even Sellier & Bellot are pretty tough contenders in the accuracy department. I do however have a few rifles that shoot CCI stuff very well.
As for the manufacture the last year was 1947 . However you are right about 1951 as well as the parts manufactured prior were in abundance thus they were assembled and sold by Remington up to the year of 1951.
The little gun a many secrets. One is the very little spring that actuates the internal shell stop. Most 241's that I have seen are lacking this little spring in place. It is a trick to put one in as one has to use dental pick tools to get the depressed spring into the cavity in the receiver. Another is to never use a screwdriver on the forward screw on the right side of the receiver just below the rifle barrel. That screw stays ridged in place and will not turn. It is kept in place by an internal pin that keeps the spring pressure in place onto the shell follower next to the breech. I have 5 of them and I know everything there is to know about them.
I tightened the take down screw on a Marlin 39 Mounte that grouped side to side and it took care of it. I actually used a coin but used a pair of plyers on the coin to be a little tighter than my fingers would get it. Probably the recoil of a slight movement of the receiver side to side.
Good Video with great Info, I have had two of those, got rid of the first one and really regretted it, love the 39a, I have an old 39M also, set aside for a grandson!!
Consistent ammo. Have recently modified some to HP with a Waltz die. My Anschutz digests them nicely with very good accuracy. Do a great job in the gopher patch.
Actually Remington started making the model 870 in 1950. I have an original 870 Wingmaster 20 guage, made in 1950. It still functions flawlessly. Great video brother 👍
@CumberlandOutdoorsman you don't look old the way you hit those clay pigeons brother! Keep on smokin 'em! And keep making videos, I'm a fan! God bless 'Merica!
Went to the cabinet and pulled my old Marlin 60. Mine has the ‘JM’ stamp, but first # of serial are 19, so ‘81. Has gold trigger if that’s of any importance. I don’t believe it holds open on last round or not?
I'm pretty sure I have nearly the exact same gun. Time frame would be right, mid to early 80s. I bought it new, I forget where I bought it. One of my first purchases. Mom found a couple of grandpa's pistols which got me into shooting and reloading. Pretty sure first came the revolver, then this. I was young and stupid and messed up the firing pin by dry firing, causing barely dented rounds. Got smarter. Took out the firing pin, laid it on an anvil and VERY gently tapped it on the sides a few times with a small peen hammer. Fixed it!
Being in Ohio I can’t use 30/30 or I would so I opted for a 45/70 Marlin being it’s straight wall cartridge makes no sense to me we can’t use necked cartridge
