Marlin Model 55 The Original Goose Gun (Disassembly)
Marlin Model 55 The Original Goose Gun (Disassembly)
Here we disassemble a Marlin Model 55 “The Original Goose Gun” bolt action shotgun. This version was produced from 1962 to 1988 has a 36 inch barrel is 56 3/4 inches in total length and weighs 8 lbs.
I have a Model 55 12 Ga that is 47 1/2 long so it isn’t a goose gun like this one. But it has the exact same mechanism and I appreciate your detailed video as I had no idea how to get it apart. Like yours this is my Elmer Fudd gun as all I do is dispatch pesky rabbits, squirrels, and the dreaded woodchucks and skunks that don’t understand that my little 2.4 acre spot in the country is not for them to nest, eat, and crap on.
thanks was looking for info on how to dissemble the bolt on one of these.
Picked one of these up today, it’s so big I had to wedge it into the trunk of my Town Car at an angle. That trunk will easily hold 4 large bodies, 6 medium, so that makes the 55 a crazy long shotgun!
i loved mine
shot clays with it
used it to duck hunt
great swamp gun
also
goose hunted with it
strapped it on my back
crawled hands n knees to get close to geese
about 150 yards i covered
dont lose your magazine
I just watched a video in russian but it was about the marlin 55 goosegun. The guy was shooting slugs and had a very good group. He shot 2 different types of slugs and regular magnum 3inch loads. Check it out, he even says his goosegun has the full choke like all of them. Theres also a guy on here saying he shoots steelshot out of them, i think they were made for lead only. But im not a pro so i dont know.
I want long tom for hunting with family
I’m just curious if there’s a serial # on it?
My uncle just gave me one of these thank you for the video I am trying to get it cleaned up but I’ve never even seen one of these before
looking to purchase a Marlin 55G series 20 gauge Bolt Action Shotguns magazine any ideas booper.hansen@gmail.com
I have the 10ga version. 🙂
How do you get the barrel off
The thing just brings a smile to my face, why there has never been a movie or something where someone is out hunting with this thing, just sitting in a blind would be funny alone…
Hey, I know I’m a littlw late, but Im having a hard time removing my barrel (Same gun as yours) and I cant find anything online that could help. I would greatly appreciate If someone could walk me through the process. TY
Hey do you know the dimensions of the magazine?
I love my Goose Gun but the last time I shot it, the mag got stuck so now its very hard to remove the mag.
Ho much price
anyone tried this with skeet for a bit of fun? Thinking of getting one just for that lol
I have the slug version of this gun and I am looking for a magazine that holds more than 2 rounds have you found any?
looks like for 7 foot tall person might give more normal look.
A local gun store has a 10 gauge for sale that is basically the same as yours. Is it safe to shoot steel shot thru it? If not, then that would definitely limit its applications. But what a fun gun to pull out at the dove lease!!
