Needing a Marlin bulls eye for Mdl 62

Guys I have looked everywhere for a bulls eye to fit into the stock of a Marlin Mdl 62 Levermatic. Does anyone know where I might find one? Thx.

If you know someone with a lathe you could have one made, but Marlin is gone, and most parts have been snatched up by collectors. You might try the ususal suspects , but I think you will have to have something like that made for you.

All of the usual places like Midway, Numrich, & even Ebay seem to be out of them. I found some available from a few sites that I have no experience with but for the small amount it might be worth the risk? here's one-

A number of years ago, when I was deep into Marlins, I had to replace a few of these and I used these Bull's-eye sticks. Makes sense since they all have to be hand fitted. I do remember that these stick, use to be longer. ....

Nice catch and;
Be Safe !!!

Schlitz45 delivers. That's the way I'd go (rather than making one myself).

There are several people on the MarlinOwners forum that sell Marlin-contracted bullseyes, rather than reproductions, for a reasonable price.
(Like $3, last time I checked. But it has been a while, so don't quote me.)

Dawei is one of them.
