Title: Marlin 795 Drop Free Mags?
Post by: baddarryl on August 19, 2017, 02:59:34 PM
Hi all. Can anyone point me in the direction to make these drop free? I have 5 Marlin stainless mags and none drop free. Thank you.

They hang down enough to grab and drop.  Practice doing it with the next mag in your hand to shove in.

You can also Polish the inside if the mag well.  They come from the factory really rough. That sometimes allows them to drop free.

If you go the polish route, be sure to check your spring tension on the mag holder spring.  it is easy to over do or to bend the spring. It can screw up holding the mags in.

There is a good discussion on this posted by D.O.M on 8/31/16 in the Rifle Knowledge Bank entitled "Marlin 795 Magazines Drop-Free notes".  Here's the link:
