I am looking at a used Marlin 32 H&R Mag Rifle
The guy only wants $100 for it
But it needs a new mag tube and most likely a new spring
As the mag tube is bent
Also no front or rear sights
IMO neither should be hard to fix & replace
The guy took a 10/22 scope base and drilled a new hole
And had a CHEAP 7/8 4X scope on it
I looked at it this afternoon and even shot it .... single shot style
The only problem other than the mag tube I saw was a LOT of copper fouling
So I am guessing it was never cleaned
Is there anything I should look for ?
As I am not looking to to keep it
I was thinking of replacing the Mag tube and putting sights back on it
Then selling it
Sort of a investment
But I don't want to buy a rifle that has problems that will cost a bunch to fix
Thanks
John
