Very nice job on that 1894 of yours, OSOK. The hand guard looks waaaay better than the factory one and I really like peeps on lever guns. I used to own a blued 1894 .44Mag many years ago and traded it away in a moment of stupidity. But I recently came into possesion of a Marlin 1894SS .44Mag from winning first prize at a raffle we put together at work to raise money for charity...

After cleaning the bore, I went into the back yard and shot a few Remington 240gr factory loads through it just for fun. Wow I'd forgotten how much fun these are to shoot! All I need to do is pick up an XS peep for it and I'll be set. With the checkered stocks on this model, I won't be sanding down the fore arm however so I'll have to live with it but I think I can get used to that.
