Howa 1500 Serial Number Lookup

Hey Dan, how familiar are you with Marlin rifles?

I got a Marlin 700 .22 for free, but it has no magazine.

I even went to the Marlin Website and they didn't list the rifle at all.

I am trying to find a couple of magazines for it and I'm having no luck turning up a supplier.

Any ideas? p.s. happy New Year.

Gun show!

Every king of clip for every kind of gun.(almost)

Bolt action Mossberg??

I didn't know they made anything but shotguns.

Thanks for the heads up tho..

A Marlin 700? Any idea how old that rifle is?

www.gunpartscorp.com lists a Marlin 70 and some other 7XX models numbers; also, there are message boards at that website where you can ask about a specific model and part.

The Marlin website also has links to Marlin-specific message boards, with the .22 rimfires having a separate discussion area. Wiz khalifa curren%24y 2009 zip. Those guys can tell you about that rifle, for sure.

Your bolt will be returned to you after the upgrade.

Spyder 3 elite. Or is this just one more way to put gun owners on a list?????

Are you sure it's a model 700, or is it a model 7000? They made a model 7000 semi-auto .22 LR that was relatively popular. I don't recall a model 700.

My .02.

Or is this just one more way to put gun owners on a list?????
