Great info guys. Like I said my first foray into a custom.
Thought the prices I listed were in the ballpark. B&C stock, timney trigger and ER Shaw barrel (the barrel I found was for a Savage and was chambered and rifled already but didn't look hard for others).
That's why I asked you all here for advice. Guess I'll keep looking or just boot the idea.
Thanks again guys!
One of the reasons that I like Marlin X guns for economic builds is that you can install Savage small shank specs barrels on them with minimal work and there are a lot of inexpensive Savage take-off barrels floating around.
