Yep I can give you an idea once I get to the house and write it down.
I can understand being concerend with dangerously modified marlins, AND I can even understand the problems you are having in california. I cannot understand a marlin rep never having heard of a 336 with a one piece fireing pin. I know of at least two other people who have OLD marlins like mine that are the SAME way. In Texas I have only met a few hundred or so marlin cowboy shooters and a like number of hunters. Most hunters (except hog hunters) don't tend to change the pin UNLESS they had a problem first. Most of the Cowboy action shooters I have met HAVE changed it. Just as back in the day we all replaced the rossi follower with steel, and we all added marbles semibuckhorn sights to replace the old factory blades. Most of us even had a little work done here or there if the gun needed it.
As for california Cowboy Action Shooters as I recall more than a couple of them are the reason that Coyote Cap was basically blackballed at some of the events. Don't care much for those tactics used on a man that not only knows his guns but is one of the finest gunsmiths I have ever had the privalege of talking to.
Maybe its just me.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
