If Im not mistaken that is the old Marlin design...MC05. Very weak setup

Are you sure? I don't have a clue. I have an mco7 but didn't know you could buy a weaker version.

Read the discription...it says its machined out of a solid piece of T6 Billet. I dont think the MC-5 was Billet.

$199 seemed like a good price from a reputable seller to me. Thats all do what you will with the info.

I agree. Im saying I doubt its the MC-5 which means its a good one. Probably a TG by the looks of the oil galleys :awesomework:

Not an mc05 and not trail garbage either. Unless Jim changed things that coupler is a stock output drilled and resplined. The problem with that is he doesn't re heat treat after machining.

Quick history lesson...

There were a couple revisions to Marlins first adapter after the OG Icelandic design. The mc05 design proved to wear on splines of the coupler and second input due to the coupler rocking on its single row of 12 ball bearings. At the time AA was casting the adapter for Marlin, he came to them with his re design for a double wide bearing of 16 balls each. They said it wasn't needed and refused to change. So he found someone else to do the casting and the mc07 was born. That was around '01 ish. The funny part is after their refusal to change years ago AA came out with the tx2 adapter with 2 bearings to fix the origonal issue.

Trail garbage is just a chinaman mc05, Jims adapter uses a single narrow bearing too if memory serves correctly.
