Hi beaver season just around the corner and I am looking to replace my mistake . I am looking for .22 mag would prefer Marlin ( ask I have parts from first mistake IE stock scope bi pod) Or another brand of .22 mag

Thank you !!

What seems to be the mistake! Make? Model? You may find different ammo works better ?
I own a Ruger and am not sorry in the least, I shoot Winchester Supremes hollow point for Beaver and find them excellent . Other brands were not as good.

I shoot a Marlin 22 mag. bolt that I got from Wholesale Sports. I really like it.

I use Remington Premium. They are a lead tipped bullet. I tried hollow point and FMJ and did not care for them.

my mistake was the operator behind the trigger ... I was packing getting ready for a beaver hunt and I thought to myself hmmm I should clean it . I didnt have the proper tools ( Note to self dont do that again ) Got a part of a cleaning rod and a rag jammed in the barrel ....... Gun smith cant get it out So I got this marlin bolt action that i cant use

Can you get the gunsmith to take the barrel off?
What make of gun was it?

Sorry never noticed make you posted!

No worries friend. thats why I like to find another Marlin because I have spare clips , bi pod and rife stock

Berh307, find yourself another gunsmith. What you describe ( rag in barrel ) should not be difficult to correct with the proper tools.
Good luck.

Yes a rag and part of a cleaning rod ... The problem was me panicing to remove the piece my self , They figured that with me pounding on the broken of rod from both ends that I have flared it out too much to remove....

Me dumb Me should'nt be allowed near heavy equipment or fagile things

me go back to cave

i wood find a piece of steel rod the same size as the bore,,and beat it out[can't hurt anything]

I think a good gun smith will do the trick.
Have him take the barrel off if need be , Then you need to disolve the rag, that will likely allow for the rod to be pressed out.
PHONE ; RON SMITH @ wimbourne , alberta,403-631-2405
or Dave Henry Bently AL 403-748-3030
IF neither of those two know what to do , pray

Hey thank you I call those guys and see what they can do for me ... I was out having breakfast this moring talking to a guy I know and telling him about this gun. He figures he can get it out by using an acid that would take care of the rag. ( He owns a machine shop) He told me he uses the acid for etching alunim(sic) I figure that should soften the alunim (sic) clean rod as well. He said he make a stainless steel rod and be able to press the problem out.. I think it sounds good !!!


Thank you guys for you comment and suggestions !!

If you do try tapping it out with a rod use a really good lubricant. A product called " Move It" I find is far superior to WD40.
