It wouldn't be advisable. The recoil spring is an essential component of the operating mechanism, and, in many rimfire rifles, is also instrumental in keeping the bolt carrier on track. Using your firearm without this recoil spring leads to serious risk of damage, and the possibility of personal injury.

Marlin 31 is a shotgun. Marlin 81 is the rim fire .22.
Its a powerful fire move but it does recoil damage.

Pull the rifle firmly into your shoulder. Fire standing rather than prone. Use a recoil pad. Change to a lighter recoiling cartridge.
