Got frustrated. Didn't pay attention. Now I need your help.

[benjaminlee06]

A while back I was trying to sight in a cheap scope on a marlin 795. After many wasted bullets I decided to check with laser bore sight. Also cheap and in outdoors lighting essentially worthless. Did this a few times and forgot to remove it. Took to shots and know I essentially have a squib fire like situation with plastic crap stuck in front of the rounds. To try and pound it out it looks like I need to remove the barrel from the receiver which I have no idea how to do. Does anyone have ideas that I can do myself.? And if I absolutely need a gunsmith what will it cost me? The barrel appears to be unaffected when looking at it externally, but I'm curious to know if I am just SOL on the barrel even if I can remove the obstruction. If that is the case, I can't seem to find anything on just replacing the barrel, so any ideas there are also welcome.

Try reading this.

At least you'll know you're not alone.

It looks like the 795 barrels are just pinned in place. If you can get the barrel off you can probably get out the obstruction with a brass or aluminum rod and a rubber mallet.

EDIT: apparently it's very difficult to remove or install a barrel without damaging the receiver.

The most important thing is you are ok and did not end up with a face full of receiver! Have you tried heat? If it is plastic it might melt enough to loosen. Push the stuck piece back towards the way it came in. In other word drive it from the muzzle end. Try a small brass or aluminum rod slightly smaller then the bore. Best of luck. Be safe!

How close is it to the end of the barrel? Might be better to drive it back down the barrel, put some kroil around it first, once it starts moving it should go okay, let me know if you want any help

It would probably be cheaper to just buy a new 795 than it would be to have a gunsmith fix it. Bud's sells them for $142 shipped.

And you would have a nice set of spares should you need them.

 

[30calmachinegunner]

Dang, where's all the brotherly love around here? I'm pretty confident I can get it out and I don't charge

 

[eatsnopaste]

Did you try letting it sit in un- coiled rice for a few days?

 

[indykid]

benjaminlee06, I would seriously take 30calmachinegunner up on his offer, he knows his stuff.

 

[engineerpower]

Drill it out, or cut and recrown.

 

[Irishshooter]

Did I read that correctly? You fired two shots? If so you are lucky and that is a tough barrel.

 

[benjaminlee06]

Yes. Two shots. Pretty ridiculous. By far one of the dumbest things I have ever done. As for 30calmachinegunner's offer, I would love to but my wife and I are in Cincinnati until spring of next year for her to finish grad school and I'm not sure when we will visit next. I have thought about keeping it around for parts as I have another 795. I started doing appleseed with one that I put tech sights on and thought it would be fun to have a scoped one. Picked it up cheap on here a couple of years ago. Maybe a$100, so not a huge lose to keep it for parts, but it would be great to have it function. Everything is logged at the front of the barrel and I've read it is very hard to push back down the barrel. With where it is I know if the barrel was off the receive a brass rod and a small mallet would do the trick.

Also, to cut and recrown it seems like with the rifling it would be important where exactly the cut is relative to the length of the barrel. If I took this route would I have any concern for the exact length?

Orientation of rifling to the muzzle doesn't matter. As long as you have a good crown or at least an even surface, the bullet doesn't give a hoot if it's right-side-up, upside-down, on-the-side, etc.

Your only concern in barrel length is either to:
1) Maintain 16" of barrel length or greater, or
2) Maintain 16" of barrel length or greater with a permanently attached muzzle device
