An extremely well done presentation. You practice what you preach ... slow and steady ... which makes for super video instruction. No background music or noise, what a concept. More instructional videos please! Cheers.
Thank you so much!!
A+ Presentation.
I especially appreciate this being done without using a splashy video graphics and porno sound track.
Considering all the disassembly for the loading gate, IMO it would have been worth replacing the trigger with a Ranger Point trigger kit.
Thanks! Actually, check out our main page. I’m doing each stage as an individual video for anyone interested in just changing out that particular part. A lot more work on my end, but much more user friendly in the long run I think.
Really appreciate the comment!!

I agree. Some videos use ridiculous garbage music. TOTALLY annoying. Probably won't be long they'll be using that bullshit r a p.
Fantastic tutorial on gun smithing...very detail oriented and like the fact you stress to take your time and us the right tool 👍🏼
Thanks so much!! Really appreciate the compliment 👍
Just installed a new loading gate today in my Marlin 1894 CSBL. This video was excellent and made the job relatively easy. Clear, concise instructions. Enough detail to see what needs to be done and nothing was glossed over or assumed. One of the best instructional videos I have seen. keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate the kind words. I hope you enjoy our future gun work videos. Lots to come!!
Just went through and did it all myself. Thanks for the visual aid. I will say though, you made that hammer spring part look way easier than it went for me. I was ready to punch a baby.
HAHAHA now that's funny. Sorry it gave you a tough time though. Glad the video helped you out! Thanks for watching!
Ditto on the hammer plate/spring, re-install was a bear.
Same bro
Following up. I got my Ranger Point Precision gate yesterday and, following this video, installed it in under 30 minutes. I took my time, slow-n-steady as you say, and it installed very easily. The only sticky point I had was in reinstalling the hammer screw. Mine didn't drop back in. I had to apply a little force, tapping it with the butt end of the screwdriver to drive it down through the hammer to the other side of the frame, then tighten as normal. And wow, what a difference! Loading a cartridge is no longer a literal pain. I don't feel the gate is fighting against me as I push a cartridge through.
I love seeing how older firearms work. So much simpler than today's modern firearms.
Thank you for the recommendation and the tutorial!
Thanks for all these videos. I do not know if there is a reason for the extra high pressure caused by the magazine tube spring, but it was nightmarish and painful to reload. I did not replace the loading gate, but removed four inches from the magazine tube spring. It completely changed my experience and it is now much easier and actually fun to reload - no more pain. It also gives room for one additional 38 Special cartridge.
You're welcome! Ah, interesting! Not a bad idea at all. Thanks for sharing!
true, good idea- I will do that too. No there is no reason, got the strong feeling they are just people who build things, but do not use their own products.
Consistently good, each successive episode. You aren't rushing through the items you already showed in the previous one. And very good cinematography.
Thanks so much! We tried to treat each install as an individual video in case someone was only installing that one part. I disassembled and reassembled that rifle several times in one day! hahaha.
Yeah my 10 year old son and I just installed a Ranger Point medium loop and loading gate on my Marlin 336W 30-30. The parts were a perfect fit and they work great. Your videos are a tremendous help. My son and I thank you a lot man.
Welcome! Building great memories there. Thank you!
Great instructions. Thank you. It really helped both times I took the rifle apart. The Ranger Point Precision Loading Gate was only slightly easier to load through, but it wouldn't allow a round to feed. It got hung up on the inside of the gate and there it stayed. I reinstalled the old gate, after freeing the stuck round, and the rifle was back in working order.
It’s because their products are a piece of shit. Second part I’ve had problems with and I’m not pleased
Just did this install on my 1895 dark! Video is great! Only issue I ran into was with the loading gate itself. Mine must have been bent a little and when I got the weapon reassembled, the gate was too far into the receiver and interfered with the loading ramp movement and would insta-jam. Just had to take it back apart and bend the gate slightly and voila!! Works perfect!!
One of the best installation tutorials I ever watched . Thank you much appreciated
Until this morning, I didn't even know thing existed! Thank you for this tutorial! I'm ordering one for my 1895SBL today!
You are welcome! You will love it for sure. Thanks so much for watching! Use "WOLF10" when you order 👍
Great video. Appreciate the no rush step by step instructions
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy what's to come as well :) Lots of stuff in the works!
Your videos are great, they have really helped me out. I have to say though, I was cussing my hammer spring/plate a blue streak trying to get my hammer spring plate back in. Finally did it.
Thanks so much! Glad you've found them helpful. Yeah...that thing can be a pain at times LOL
Yeah, me too- kept blowing out!
Was curious about the improvement this makes. Just finished and loaded 9 up.
Definitely 👍 👍 👍 worth the money!
Awesome!!
Just replaced loading gate using this video. All went well, nice job on the instruction!
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Awesome step-by-step guide, thank you!
Thanks so much!! You're welcome!
Very easy to follow video and helped me out big time installing this loading gate, mag tube follower, and from other video the Mid West Industries hand guard on my 1894 dark in .44 mag.
The only part that WASN'T as easy as you mention was putting the hammer spring plate on. Man that sucker is definitely easier to take out than put back In haha. Either way, thank you for the very detailed video.
Finding these videos is going to cost me money. I have a Marlin Dark series on the way.
LOL So sorry! Ranger Point are definitely good upgrades though!! Thanks for watching!
Nice instructional video. My rifle looks amazing just need to finish the loading gate.
Awesome instructions no ums or ars ,you know your subject matter and sequence , everything flowed from one piece to the next, well done, are you an instructor? Or does your work require you to explain what you do?
Anyway that was great and I’d like to see you work on a Henry as I have one, a big boy steel In 357mag.
I’m from Australia and we don’t have many gun smiths here and the ones that are here are bloody expensive, that’s why I like channel’s that include take downs and mods..
Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Really appreciate it. I’m not an instructor, I do video & photography for a living, and some residential electrical. Dad and I are just very technical people. And when it comes to firearms, I generally know my content and just roll with it, sometimes get too fast and get ahead of myself 😂. If I can ever get my hands on a Henry to modify, I’ll be sure to do it! Yeah gunsmiths can be quite expensive. That combined with the fact that we prefer to do everything ourselves, it just made sense to do our own mods. Hope you stick around, lots of content like this to come in the future!
Thanks again!
Wolf's Prairie Outdoors Thanks for the reply and yeah you’re stuck with me now😂😂😂
Honestly I’ll try not too comment to much 👍
Haha awesome! No worries! We really appreciate the comments and feedback. It helps us know that you enjoy what we are doing. Feel free to share us with your buddies down there. We love feedback from all over!
Very well done thank you probably couldn’t have done it without your video the only thing that gave me a problem was the ejector I have an older one and I was looking for the hole on the side you talked about and I don’t have one and I wasn’t sure if I put it in right side up or upside down but it all worked out well and I thank you so much for the training
You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
My RPP replacement came in bent like a Pringle, probably tripled the loading gate force.
Nice Marlin disassembly and reassembly video, good presentation 👍👍
Thanks for your help . This video really helped me with the install.
You're welcome, I'm really glad the video helped!
Great video it helped me a lot. Installed my new Ranger loading gate in my marlin 1894. I’m disappointed with it. The fit and finish I’d give a 3 out of 5
I just saw this…EXCELLENT!
Good golly. Why isn't this done at the factory?
It’s nice, but I’m considering switching back. I can’t unload it through the gate like want anymore
Nice video! I'm not sure if I'm up to that much disassembly
Thanks! It's not that bad really. Just take it one step at a time.
Man you do great videos!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much & you’re very welcome!!
Are RPP doing this loading gate upgrade for the Henry Model X as I cannot find one only for the Marlin. Great Tutorials.
Another Aussie in the mix here. I expected a mod like this for the Marlin Dark but word is the gate is a lot smoother now. One thought though. I have mostly European scopes and they use TORK screws which I like very much as I have the equipment to suit and stripping of screw heads and the chance of marring your work is greatly reduced. Do you know of anyone who had swapped out standard screws for TORX fasteners? And secondly are the torque specs for the Marlin rifles readily available for those who use precision torque wrenches or will I have to search high and low. A quick search throws up a dead end. Or is it simply a case of snug and tighten and keep an eye on your gear?
Great video. An excellent start to hopefully an awesome new channel. Expect more than handful of Australian comments sir.
Thanks for the feedback! As far as TORX swap out, I've not seen that yet. I'm also not sure on the torque specs availability as far as the assembly screws. I've never noticed anyone giving them. Everyone I've known always either puts Lock-Tite on them or just keeps an eye on them. I try to check mine whenever I use them heavily or clean them. You've got me intrigued now...lol...I'll have to start looking for the torque specs on all the screws.
Really appreciate all the comments and questions! Your questions help me learn and check myself along the way. Looking forward to many more of your comments in the future!
All Marlin screws use proprietary thread pitches which do not exist with regular screws out there. You'd need to design a full set of Torx screws with the thread pitches.
They need something different, I snapped the head off tightening up the loading gate screw on mine. Waiting on replacement screws from Brownell's.
Black gate does give it a nice look
Thanks man!
1984- Seems like they didn't have amazon back then so Im guessing they made them as non-heated (annealed, tempered, quenching, ) treated metal to mechanically last, and furthermore would only be subject to strength hardening by cold working (act of repetitive loading of ammunition). So yep
Excellent video. Very well done! Do you think it would be possible to thin out the spring area of the stock loading gate to obtain the same ease of loading as the aftermarket one?
All you have to do is take the stock loading gate off, clamp the end with the screw hole in a vise, and bend it a bit so that it’s flatter. Go slow, tweak it a little at a time. Makes it much easier to load. I’ve done it on all four of my Marlins.
Thanks so much! Sorry I missed this comment. You could probably make it work pretty easily, but I really liked the black to make it two-tone.
Thanks!
thank you!
You can do this without the big strip down with a bit of fiddling. Take out the lever, bolt and ejector. Unscrew the loading gate and remove. Insert the new gate through the loading gate hole. Now the fiddly bit, with the gun upside down, I rested the stock on the back of a chair, so the loading gate faces the floor maneuver the new gate into place, insert screw and tighten. Not for everyone but if you don't want to strip it right down it can be done.
Why not lighten the spring tension on the original loading gate?
Probably going to switch back and will do that. Can’t unload through this gate like I want
And how do you do that? Back the screw out a little?
When is the action polishing and improvement video going to happen? I purchased the loading gate, trigger, and loop due to your excellent videos. Please go the next step so we can make our own rifles like a custom one.
Thanks!
Welcome and thank you!!
Good job
Thanks!!
My loading gate screw rattles loose every 50-100 rounds should i use some blue locktight?
Oh man, yeah I would use some.
Is this the same process for older models without the crossbolt safety? Mine is from 1981, doesn't have the safety.
Nice video
What size size screwdriver did you have to use for the final screw to drop the loading gate? I can’t seem to find one that fits
I'm not sure. It's a Wheeler kit and the bits only have a number on the side that corresponds to a place in the box. It's quite annoying, haha.
How's the aluminum loading gate holding up?
Excellent video by the way
Thanks!! I’m considering switching back. I can’t unload through the gate like I want to anymore. Other than that, it’s holding up well though
@@buildhuntxplore did you end up switching back or are you still using the RPP one mate?
Do they make these for Henry Big Boys?
What did you use to fill in the dovetail on the barrel from the factory sight?
This is the sight system that came from the factory
@@buildhuntxplore have you ever had to get something to fill in the dovetail gap after changing sights? I’m taking off the old buckhorn sight off the Henry and upgrading to a ranger point over the receiver
Are there any plans to make these for the Henry models?
I'm not sure, check with RPP.
Very nice video... Since im planning to buy a marlin lever gun. 38spl/357... .could you please make a review on accuracy/ distance. Thank you..more power.....
Thanks so much!! We will work this in for sure. We are having to redo our range, beaver moved in and our target area is now a pond, hahaha.
@@buildhuntxplore thanks man...keep safe & more power
Mine should be in tomorrow or the next. Sick of that gate pinch....Going to pick up new triggers when I get my 45/70 to go with my 30-30. Love my Marlins better than my Henry.
Awesome! Yeah it can be rough. Good luck with them!
Yeah... I'm definitely doing this. Sick of fighting with my 30-30 man.
i wish i had this gun
Thanks! It's quite handy
Will you do the mi handguard instructions?
Sure will! That will be coming up later next week I think. Next, I change out the follower, then do the handguard. Thanks for watching!
Takes down just like a AR
Yep, super simple 👍
@@buildhuntxplore I'm shopping for a marlin lever as i type this. Average price for a Marlin Dark in 357 mag in Canada right now $1300-$1400 plus tax. Just for perspective average entry level AR like a PSA or Smith Sport is $550-800 plus tax right now.
If it’s a problem, yo I’ll solve it
Haha nice
Why did Marlin want their customers not to be able to load the gun smooth, fast and easy. whats wrong with them ? Its totally absurd-wtf. The gun literally prevents you to load it. the edges are also sharp, the rifle is full with my blood. thx for showing the marlin customers how we can repair their disaster. I ll also have to round all these sharp edges. What angers me is that this is a problem the customers can only find out AFTER the purchase, as noone is allowed (for a good reason) to load a gun for a test in the gunstore. Still shaking my head about that gun. I would fire them. Thx for the Video man.
I'm definitely not attempting this. All the things i hate about this gun there seems to be a solution. Can i just send you my gum and you do your magic.I want the trigger, hand guard and loading gate. I drew blood on that lading gate already.
LOL I get this question quite often. I don't have an FFL to do the work or I would. Sorry.
