It functions as an inertia block and must be free to pivot on its shaft. The recoil lock is spring loaded by a plunger that interfaces with the trigger guard frame, and a separate spring-loaded cam on its upper, inside surface that interfaces with a cam slot milled into the carrier. It has an integral leaf spring beneath it and pressure should be applied on it with a finger to loosen and pull its screw.

The hammer has three notches….the upper notch is engaged by the safety sear until the bolt moves forward and locks into battery, whereby a cam slot milled into the bottom of the bolt engages the cam on the top of the spring-loaded safety sear, disengaging it and allowing the hammer to engage the trigger/sear with the full and half cock notches on the lower end of the hammer. Remount the hammer without the trigger guard and observe the interface between the safety sear and hammer. This serves as the rearward bolt stop, which is useful to understand in diagnosing any later problems. Then gently racking the slide arm rearward clicks the bolt out of battery, and moves the carrier downward to pick up the next shell until the carrier arm strikes the shaft of the recoil lock screw. Pulling the knurled surface of the recoil lock arm to the rear unlocks the locking bolt above it. Note the relationships between the carrier on the left, the recoil lock in the center, the locking bolt atop them, and the safety sear (photo below) still mounted in the frame on the right. Pull the loose hammer out the bottom of the frame, remount its screw correctly oriented in its mating hole to keep track of it, and also set it aside. Remove both trigger guard screws, pull the trigger guard assembly from the bottom of the frame, reinstall the screws in the trigger guard and the stock bolt screw to keep track of them and set it aside. Then remove the hammer screw and pull the screw from the frame, leaving the hammer loosely in place for now. Loosen its mounting screw slightly, compress the hammer spring using your fingers and pull it aside from the roller block on the bottom of the hammer. Loosen the recoil lock screw but don’t remove it yet. My fingers are pointing to the trigger guard screw on the left and the recoil safety lock screw on the right.

Plus leaving the forearm slide mounted until it’s time to remove the bolt will aid the safety and function checks you’ll perform during disassembly. If you don’t take down the gun first you’ll have better control to gently strike the comb and pistol grip of a reluctant stock alternately with the heel of your hand to prevent the racking that can spit the edges of the inletting. Remove the stock bolt and carefully pull off the buttstock. Insure the gun is unloaded and the bore is clear. Just try to keep the oil out of the inletting. They all benefit from a thorough soaking in Kroil or other thin penetrating fluid to free up frozen screws and pins. The basic mechanism however, is sufficiently close to other Marlin Hammer Pumps that this can serve as a general guide for disassembly of Models 1898, 16, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 42 and 49.Īvoid ordering parts unless you are sure you need them, as old guns can be so jammed with century-old oil turned to hard varnish and mixed with concreted powder residue and fragments of paper shell crimps that a detailed cleaning may be all the gun requires. Sold under a hardware store label of National Firearms Company circa 1915, it has the new model recoil safety lock and pinch-block takedown, but retains the simpler wood and forearm styles of the older Models. The gun depicted here is a Model 30G in 20 gauge I restored for use by a grandchild.

I thought I’d write up a few of these that aren’t in the disassembly manuals as they come along.
