Just started a new addiction I think.

Here are a few pics of my 512. It's hard to get a good close up because the rifle is so long. The finish is a mix between bluing and age patina. She functions like she should.

I really like the action on it. And yes the bolt handle is a nice polished deep blue.

Just found out my rifle doesn't like to feed and eject rounds right. I think either a new lifter or lifter spring is in order. It also didn't like Federal hollow points. Too bad that's all I've got on hand.

That's a sweet rifle right there. Shame she's got indigestion but sounds like you've got the cure. Really like that action too . Way better than the plastic end cap on my Westernfield, everyone I've talked to said that if that thing goes; it's a real dog to change out...IF one finds the parts.

There's a reason the marlin 60 is the most popular rifle.

Pretty rifle My 34 is patina'd just slightly less, but I think I like the grain of the wood on yours slightly better. This can get expensive (like shooting a 22 isnt nowadays? lulz), but if you can find them, the OLD Remington red & white box Golden Bullet solids shoot fantastic through mine and dad's 34's, and the 580 and 582 we have. I haven't seen any in a while (and still got a box and a half left) but last time I got some was at $8.00/box, and I saw them regularly at $10/box. I don't know if you can even find any now, tbh.

They were dirt cheap, given to lots of youth groups in the 60's / 70's and they held 17 rounds?

Probably needs a new spring and extractor to fix the problem you are having. may have trouble finding parts for it but check places like Numrich before getting worried.

Looks nice though.

Tube fed 22s have long been favorite rifles with me & my friends. Make for nice squirrel hunting rifles. Can't be beat for overall fun guns, and lots of shots between reloading.

I'm thinking its the cartridge stop because after a thorough cleaning its only the first round that hangs up now. It seems like it tries to feed two rounds at first then it works perfectly after you clear that jam.

To help prove this is an addiction: I went to the Kokomo show today with intent to find 1 of 3 things. I found one of them at the price I'd pay, but I also found a Marlin bolt gun - tube fed, Model 72 I believe. $100 OTD. Ugly, felt like a boat oar but action was smooth, a little...heavy patenia we'll say. Almost was worth holding off the other purchase just to get the dang'd .22.

They also had a super sweet Winchester bolt - tube rifle in .22 s/l/lr for $325. That thing was nniiccceee. As well as a Mossberg something or other, it was only $100 as well but it was even more of a boat oar. Some Marlin .22mag bolt - tube rifle that had been hill-hocked on the stock and still thought it was worth $300.
