They are a nightmare to reassemble and parts are not as available some times. There are a couple guys who are active on the Cast Boolits web site that really know Marlins. You might want to join and ask about it there.

if you are in Renton run it down to Pintos and ask Chris.

Several on Gunbroker. Looks like the "right ones" can fetch a couple grand. See which ones most represent yours.
