    Ive got this here Marlin Model 80 that Ive had for a couple of years now. It was submerged during Ivan. The bbl inside looks ok, like it need to be cleaned more than anything. In fact, as soon as I am done posting this, Im going to run some CLP and a bore snake through it after I get done typing this. If I can clean the bore up, I want to fire it. The bolt works, the action works, nothing looks or feels broken. Hell, the wood doesnt even really need anything. The outside of the bbl is rusty and corroded. The only thing I can find wrong with this particular example is that it is missing one of the extractors in the bolt. It would be nice to be able to find one(either a bolt or an extractor).

    Do any of you have one of these? Perhaps parts for one of these? Am I going about this the wrong way?

    No, I do not plan on discharging this firearm today or in the near future, though, I do want to eventually turn this into a working gun.
