The factory Marlin loading gate is extremely stiff and I found that quick loading could deform soft lead hollow points. The Ranger Point aluminum gate solves the problem. Great product and a great fix. Wild West Guns in Las Vegas installed it in in less than 15 minutes. Excellent customer service with Marlin and Wild West Guns.

I own several Henrys, my 45-70 All Weather was/is quite good from Henry. I swapped to a larger loop (in black) just because. Now I noticed just a bit of side to side movement, still acceptable by any means. I believe this was caused do to the fact it was black and not hard chrome plated, so a couple of "thousands" undersize would be expected. Ordered the shim kit, recieved it in 3 days (wow) BINGO . perfect!

I ordered my RPP peep on Tuesday the 17th and received it on Friday the 20th. Had that rascal installed within 10 minutes. Since I already had the buckhorn sight zeroed, I adjusted the RPP to place the RPP, buckhorn, and bead front in alignment before I removed the buckhorn. I must say that Adam came up with an out of the box solution for windage adjustment that will work quite well. I took it to the range today (Sunday the 22nd). Quickly zeroed at 25 yards then took it to the 100 yard mark using my load of 14.8 grains of A2400 under the Hornady 158 FP/XTP (1690 FPS). Really like the means of adjustment on the sights. Easy to determine the inches of shift per turn to the Allen head screws. I managed a 3" group at 100 which, with my eyes, pleases me. I used the .095 aperture for zeroing. Without the aperture insert, the ghost ring effect was a little too faint for me, far sightedness causes this I think. I think I'll order the .125 aperture and give it a whirl. In short, I'm well pleased with this sight, the speed of delivery, design, and function.

I don't really consider the factory loading gate a problem, but, my Lady did... I installed these on my 336W, 308MX and 1895G and now she loves to shoot these rifles... Her only complaint before was pinching her finger in the loading gate...

Thanks for making me a Hero today!

I have a 1894 44 mag Marlin, and the stock lever is both small for me, and a knuckle buster, especially on my middle finger. This loop is far more comfortable and manages to engage all my fingers equally and on a smoother edge. This puppy seems expensive but makes for a gun that's far more enjoyable for me to operate, and it looks pretty nice too. Suggest you get the shims; I needed one.

I purchased the dovetail filler to replace the rear sight on my Marlin 1893 (circa 1896) and it worked great. It was a bit undersized depth not width) but I suspect as it needs to fit multiple rifles and ages of rifle that is just the way it needs to be made. That was not a problemas I tightened it up with a couple dings to the base with a punch. I like that approach better then Loctite red as that stuff is really hard to remove, requiring heat and I wish to be able to change back to the original rear sight from time to time. So it fit the bill and looks good, Thanks, Matt

This is by far the best rail I've had my hands on for converting my Marlin 1894's weaver rail to a picatinny rail. The service was great and shipment was fast.

The Marlin 336 scope mount base is very precision and the 10 moa required no shimming, which I have always had to do trapdoor level loads. The same base made for the Rem 742/740/760 type guns would be equally useful if you don't already have one. Very satisfied.

I just finished mounting the Rhino scope rail on one of my 336 Marlins. It allowed me more adjustment fore and aft than the previous Weaver mount. I moved the scope forward about 1/2" from its previous location. It is now right in its "sweet spot". I'm toying with going with an illuminated hog scope on it, after deer season.

I own a Springfield Armory Omega 1911 (RPP 10mm Guide Rod). This weapon is 28 years old and I can no longer get parts for it. I broke the guide rod. Crushed and defeated after looking on the Web calling on every lead I could get. Nothing available. I called Ranger Point and told them what I had and immediately felt secure that these guys knew what the are talking about. I put it in their hands and a few short weeks later my weapon was alive again. Rebuilt and stronger than before after being turned away from several shops. Ranger Point succeeded in becoming my go to guys for whatever I'll need in the future. Ranger Point had it done and back in my hands, better than new in a few weeks. Can't stress enough how happy I am with their service, quality and professional work. One very Happy Customer. Highly recommend. You can't go wrong with this guide rod!

I installed the RPP M/94 extractor claw into my 1980 Marlin 1894 .357 that had the old style spring steel extractor. Installation was a breeze (after cleaning the crud out of the hole!). Action cycled fine so next step was to get to the range. I also brought my tool kit and my 1995 44 mag rifle so I could install it in that rifle while at the range.

I set up at 50 yards and had 150 rds of PMC .357 and 50 rds of PMC 38spl. I tried the 38spl first, loaded up 5 rounds and chambered the first one without a hitch. This rifle is usually fussy about shooting 38's. Shot the 5 rds without a problem, loaded again, and no problems. Shot the whole box and cycled perfect, neatly tossing the empties at 2 o'clock. I went to the .357 next and had zero issues with those. I shot strings a bit slower as the barrel was getting quite hot but it had zero functioning issues. The action feels like it cycles a bit smoother while feeding and like it did with the 38spl, it put all empties in a nice pile at 2 o'clock. No matter how slow/easy or hard/fast I cycled it, the empties always went at 2 o'clock. Makes it real easy to pick up brass when it's in a neat pile. I shot off bags for most of the session so I was able to keep my brass landing right on the bench by cycling it "softly.

Once I used up my ammo I took it apart and removed the RPP extractor and sadly re-installed the spring steel stock one. Then I pulled the bolt from the 44 mag, popped out the old extractor and installed the RPP, right there on the shooting bench. Installation was again very quick and easy. After putting the rifle together I got my 44 ammo out and got to work.

The ammo I used for the Marlin 44 mag testing were all reloads from February 1999, 100 of them. I had a pile of 44 mag ammo from 1999 but I'm finally down to my last 4 boxes so I grabbed two for this test run. I loaded up 5 rds, first one fed easily, shot and extracted easily as did the remaining rounds. I noticed during the first 5 shots that I was getting the same ejection of the empties as I had with the .357, all tossed at 2 o'clock. Neither one of these rifles used to do that. I shot the first box of 50 without a hitch, let it cool for a bit while some fellow shooters showed up and got set up. Once shooting resumed, I put the remaining 50 through it without issue. It felt like it cycles smoother than it used to, and did I mention it tosses the empties neatly at 2 c'clock?

I can't wait to get some of these for all my 94's once they get them rolling out. I plan to equip all 5 of my 1894's with this new claw! Big Thank You to Adam/RPP! I'm sold.

Using a William's FP rear sight, I no longer need the factory sight but I hate the unfinished look of an empty dovetail slot. Other companies make fillers that just look like blocks of metal stuck to the top of the barrel. This one is by far more attractive and easy to install. 2 drops of red loctite and it slides right in and stays put. Bluing matches my barrel perfectly and gives the rifle a very clean look. 5 stars all the way.

So, I think I must have a newer design of feed ramp on my Marlin (It is new) and the ramp is a bit stiff, but it was getting easier, or I was getting used to it. The Ranger Gate needed a tiny bit of fitting as it was snagging on the receiver (Marlin machine burrs), and is lighter and easier to use, but not as much as I thought it would be. I am keeping it in there but I think it needs a bit of break in, especially on the inside face where it needs to run across the loaded round rim. It's a bit sticky there.

Shims worked well at removing the slight sideplay when working the lever. Easy install-I used one shim on each gun, and put it on the pivot point on the lever that showed the most wear. A little oil and it smooth the lever throw nicely-would recommend-

I purchased 2 of the medium loops for my Marlin's. I have 1 already on a custom rifle that they built for me and really enjoyed it and I purchased 2 new Marlin's and had to have the loops. Easy to install and the shims worked as promise to get rid of the slack in the lever when it is in the open position. They treat you like family when dealing with them at Ranger Point Precision. Can't go wrong with Adam, Kim and the others.

I like the one I installed on my 1895 45/70 so much I got one for the 1894 in 44 Mag. Same good quality, flawless function, and good looks! But where I used the video to install the first one, I put this one in by memory in half the time! Great update! Really pretty simple! Very pleased-would recommend-

This is easily the best upgrade I could have made to my rifle. The feel, function, and flow are all improved with this simple upgrade. Do yourself a favor and grab one today.

Great after market update! Easy installation, make sure to clean the hole well after sliding the old spring type out, then keep as much of the plastic sleeve on this as you can while sliding it in-it helps keep the coil spring from humping out of the slot! Works great at grabbing the case rim without marring it, and the rifle cycles very smoothly when feeding and extracting. Will probably get one for my 1895 in 45/70 as soon as I pay off a new set of truck tires! GREAT customer service!!!

Excellent! Easy and quick installation, the online video lays it all out, and the only problem I had was getting the buttstock off because Marlin fitted it so well! Works just as advertised, and the unloading feature is great! Like it so much I have one coming for an 1894 model in 44 Mag-

Quality product. Fits great!
