Hey everyone,
I just picked up a Marlin 1895 45-70 SBL, and i found a few issues with it when i got home. Contacted Marlin, and I setup a repair order. Before i send it out, I wanted to dig a bit deeper into the rifle to make sure there isn't anything else wrong with it. Thing is, I'm not too familiar with this rifle or lever actions really. Would anyone locally be able to help me identify any other issues the rifle may have before I send it back for repairs. The customer service rep told me that i should let them know about everything when sending it in so i dont have to send it in again for other things I may find.
Thanks for any help on this
Also a few pictures of the current defects I found:
The stock has a bit of a weakspot where the wood is showing through the finish, and also it seems as though the rail was improperly installed.
