Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers And then there were 3 (thanks to Shane)

the first one, is old tried and true, the one I had first and used most, had to replace the stock after last fall as it broke and now need to grind the decelerator pad down to fit the new stock

the 2nd one, just got done refinishing the stock and awaiting a tritium front sight blade from Brockman's to see how I like it.

the 3rd is the new addition and my wife is soooo mad at Montana Marine, grin

after resighting the SS version will determine whether to do the new boy as the same as it or more traditional as the first one.

I've two boys, with cowboy loads even the 12 year old can carry his to the cabin and out and about w/out being punished by recoil.

the oldest boy and I can run em hot to knock the snot outa whatever gets in the way.

I'm thinking we'll have fun.

Great group.

Love me my Marlins, too.

What kind of stock is there on th middle one?

it's just the wood stock it came with cmg.

it's got truck bed liner sprayed on top of it, after sanding it to rough it up some of course.

there was a guy on here Leverboy IIRC or Josh from Anchorage that had done that gig, and like most of us that use rifles in harsh weather we thought he'd found a synthetic that perhaps didn't cost as much as the new one I bought like the WWG's synthetic stocks do.

haven't seen him post in awhile, wish he would, I don't know how they hold up over time, I need to touch mine up in a few places, and the forearm is a mess, I did it outside rather than in the garage, had the dogs in the house and one of my boys came out and here came momma's little dog to see what I was up to, yep rolled it right off the newspaper into the spruce needles.


but seems it would work pretty good.

I coated mine 8 times with pretty thin coats, spraying from about a foot away.

will keep the fire posted as to how it holds up in weather and the normal use/abuse I subject a rifle to.

Nice!

Just gotta explain to the wife how practical another 45-70 is. How much you're 'saving' by not having to re-tool to load/feed another chambering....grin

Looks good from here.

I like it how great minds seem to think alike.

I tried flooring paint on mine. The stuff you use for basements etc.

Held up ok - for a while.

So ugly - I took no pics.

Looking forward to the reports from the field of yours.

tks cmg,

I'm not as much for looks on my personal firearms as I am function. I just use them too hard to keep em looking nice.


yeppers Shane I doubt our little women truly appreciate what great lengths we go to save them a few $$$



no telling what kind of worthless crap she'd have brought home if I didn't spend it first!

(god I hope she never reads this)

Shane, it appears that Randy is about to go target shooting!!

ready, fire, aim


repeat as necessary


and oh lordy have I over the years Jim!

Hell, I been reading yer exploits for a while now and I have concluded that yer ol' Lady is a Helluva cool gurl Cool enuff to where some asskissing would NOT be considered inappropriate

I don't mind kissing her thereabout them parts

and truth be told, I was busy and she went and picked it up, I got lucky


and that's a good thang, cause there ain't much chance of me being good
