Cold. I don't have the equipment for hot, unfortunately. And if you have questions feel free to PM me.
I always have an interest. Unfortunately I rarely have the money. Donations are always welcome though.

Thanx, pm sent.
The following is a direct quote from the Thirty First Edition of The Blue Book Of Gun Values, Marlin Firearms Company section.
Quote " During 1998, Marlin issued a service bulletin recommending that slide action exposed hammer Models 1898, 16.17, 19. 19S, 19G. 19N, 21,24, 26, 30, 42, 49 and 49N, in addition to hammerless Models 28,31, 43, 44, 53 and 63 should not be fired as many of these guns are 70 to 100 years old and system failures can and do happen" Unquote.
These guns have 2 1/2" chambers.
Serious problems will happen if used with current 2 3/4" shells.
Thanks. I don't plan on shooting it. Inherited it from my wifes uncle. Would like a foreend to make it complete. I do appreciate the info as it seems to function properly. BTW... what does your blue book value it at?

Handguard aquired. Thanx to coolhandluke.
Mosin refinish done. Posted in the milsurp section
Sweet looking little rifle! Well done!
While it has been several months since I finished this I only recently got a chance to go to the range and test it. And.. it didn't work!?!?!?
It wasn't feeding from the magazine. The rounds kept jamming in the lifter. Every round would jam not just a few here and there. Eventually I had a round jam so bad I couldn't get it out. So went back home fully disappointed. I decided the only way to un-jam it was to disassemble the lifter. I started to loosen the first screw that held the lifter in place and "CLICK", it suddenly fed. I tightened the screw back down with the lifter in it's new "self-set" position. It now fully cycles by hand without a single issue. I have hand cycled it over 100 times now and not a single failure to feed. Hoping when I get it back to the range it will work as well as it does now by hand.
I think that I must have bound the lifter when I reassembled the rifle and then with the round in the lifter it forced it into alignment when I loosened the screw and allowed it to move a little.
