Talk:Marlin Model 55

User manual
If anyone has a link to the user manual (PDF), it would be a valuable addition. I don't see it on the couple of sites that normally have them. Thanks. Surv1v4l1st (Talk 17:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Model 55 history
This book seems to indicate other model 55s that aren't the Goose gun. There is also a small section on page 431 on the SuperGoose. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 18:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Interesting. I wonder if a renaming and/or 'Variants' section is in order considering the number of variants and the length of the production history.  Thoughts? Surv1v4l1st (Talk 18:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Renaming as Marlin Model 55 and then leaving a redirect to the new article from the Goose Gun article is what looks about right to me. The Goose Gun seems to be a variant and the Hunter model seems to be the flagship if I'm reading that correctly. What do you think? ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  ((⊕)) 18:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The renaming sounds like a good plan. It would appear that the other lines were dropped at some point, only leaving the Goose Gun produced in the 90s-2000s, so that might explain why later sources only list that variant.  After the rename, what do you think about a short, sourced section regarding the variants? Surv1v4l1st (Talk 18:24, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Works for me...I'm still looking for an online manual for the Model 55 as you requested above and not coming up with much. <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b>  (<b style="color:#00C">(⊕)</b>) 18:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, sounds like a plan. Depending on how things go tomorrow, I'll try to work on it then.  BTW, I noticed there were a few of related models (59, 60 and 61) chambered in .410-bore.  Do you think they belong in the variants, as a separate article, or neither?  -- Surv1v4l1st (Talk 03:31, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty, move is done. Now need to add a variants section and miscellaneous clean up. Surv1v4l1st (Talk 15:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I added some of the variants but left the .410 models off since I don't have hardly any info on them. They could still be added. I'm still thumbing through books looking for more info.. <b style="color:#00C">⋙–Ber</b><b style="color:#66f">ean–Hun</b><b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b>  (<b style="color:#00C">(⊕)</b>) 01:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, those additions look great. The book you referenced above has a little info regarding the .410 variants.  I'll see what I can dig up as well. Surv1v4l1st (Talk 04:05, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
