Hello and thank you for accepting me into the Marlin Forum. My Dad passed away last November and I was given his old Marlin 1894 that was made back in 1901. My brother was charged with dividing up Dad's guns and I was given the non-working model 1894 chambered in the 38-40 while he kept the functioning 1893C for himself.
The action works fine on the gun, but the hammer is stuck in the cocked position and will not budge. I am hoping to find a gunsmith who may have fixed a problem like this. It is my dream to get this fun fixed and go out and shoot it in honor of my beloved father. We grew up pretty poor and my uncle collected old Winchesters. The best Dad could do was a couple of older Marlins and this gun means the world to me.
Thank you for any help you folks can provide.
Sincerely,
Scott
