Two years ago, I restored a Marlin 27-S .25-20 pump that was really in rough shape and none functional. I got it done and its a blast to shoot, cheap to reload, especially with cast bullets. With the .22 shortage the last several years, I've fired around 2,000 rounds out of this Marlin pump.
Anyways, I'm doing it again. Three weeks ago I purchased a Marlin 27 rusted barrel and left side receiver off GunBroker for $49.00, with shipping cost me $74.00. That was it. I had some parts left over from my last restoration, but I immediately started looking for needed parts from EBay, Numrich Gun Corp., and Macon Gun stocks. Mind you parts are difficult to find. The magazine tube is almost impossible to find, but I lucked out and got one for $99.00. To my surprise Macon Gun Stock had the butt stock and slide forend in stock. They arrive in two days, way oversize, but at least I had work to work with. So here are some pics of what I had to work with.
