There are a lot of 25 Caliber fans on here, so looking for some info.
I picked up one of these a few years back. Needs a bit of cosmetic work, but mechanically sound with a great bore.
Put a Burris 4x mini scope on it,
but never shot it.
Has anyone dealt with these and can share some info?

I have a Model 62 in .30 Carbine. The magazines are delicate. If you can still find one or two from Numrich or others, it would be a good idea to buy them. I took one apart and heat hardened it. It lasted better without bends (particularly the lips), so I did the other. The .30 Carbine has a VERY tight chamber. That means that many cartridges that would fit in my M1 Carbine would not fit in the Marlin. It would jam about 95% of the way in. It was particularly intolerant of cartridges that were full length (NOT overlength). I sorted those that would fit and reserved them for the Marlin. It is much more accurate than my M1 Carbine.

Terry Weiland had an article in Handloader or Rifle magazine a few years ago about the one he owns. Was a good article. |

That Marlin is trash. Not worthy of any consideration. You need to send it to me in NC where bad guns like that are all lumped together in a pile,,, along with that trashy Hawkeye pistol that puts out fire rings. Ugg!
Seriously,,, I've quietly watched gun shows for a while hoping to snag a deal on one of these Marlins!

I appreciate all the information and comments. Just something I picked up at a local gun show for $200.
I wouldn't mind adding one in 30 Carbine if it happens by.
