I have a old marlin bolt action tube fed 22 lr coming in a trade, not sure of the model. I don't have much in it. The guy I'm getting it from said is does't shoot very well, functions but not very accurate. He was using for a kids plinker. I told him a kids plinker should be accurate otherwise give them a pack of firecrackers.
I'm going to see if I can get it shooting accurately.
I'm going to make sure the crown is proper, clean the barrel and remove any leading, maybe float the barrel, check the chamber, check the feed from the tube magazine into the chamber. Maybe headspace, maybe the bolt needs shimming. Not sure on a marlin.
any other thoughts?
