Anyone coming to SA?

[Kevin Peacocke]

Hello All, if anyone is coming over to South Africa in the next month or so please could you bring an extractor pin for a Marlin 336? It is a tiny little thing. Once someone responds positively I will buy it online a d get it sent to you. Once you arrive we can meet up.
Many thanks,
Kevin

TTHA and DSC and SCI are all next month... which means a lot of South Africans will be in the US for anywhere from 1 week to a couple of months...

getting one of the AH outfitters or PHs that will be in the US in January to bring it home with them might be easier than finding an American that will be in South Africa in January.

It is called an ejector pin.

Thanks MDWest, good idea.

I have made proper size pressed in pins from shafts of drill bits. Break/cut off what's not needed and pound one end slightly out of shape so pin stays stuck when pressed in.

Great tip for you from a guy who's too cheap to pay for new factory parts. I'm not going to let you forget that, Kevin.

Kevin, do you have an image of the part you need? If not, what number part is it on this schematic?

Marlin 336s have a special place in my heart. I started hunting with one chambered in 35Rem nearly forty years ago. I don’t hunt with it near as much as I should but it took a lot of “firsts” for me when I was a young man.
