Ive decided to take the Marlin out of the safe for a cleaning after long term storage, however before I could even get started and didn't plan on including in the video, I noticed rubber rot on the scope. Having tried a couple of ways to remove this, 100% IPL does a great job to remove this film from plastic parts leaving a satin finish. Having resolved that issue, the disassembly of the Marlin begins. checking of course that the rifle is unloaded and then having removed the bolt. I have opted in this case for complete firing pin disassembly, not often conducted. However, this being long term storage, was the correct thing to do. Inspection of the firing pin and bolt parts showed everything to be in perfect order, everything was reassembled back as one bolt unit. The rifle is now disassembled from the stock with two screws. Inspecting the trigger mechanism, cleaning and oiling these areas. Then the bore is cleaned with a bore brush. Everything gets a light oil and the stock is reassembled to the rifle. Then the bolt and scope is reintroduced onto the rifle. This concludes the services of the Marlin Rifle.
