Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin 336 Lever Actions Finished 336 project...

I had never drilled and tapped a barrel and the jig added too much cost to the project. It took a lot of time to locate and setup the barreled action on a China'loca drill press that would have taken probably a short period of time with a jig, but it didn't cost me 25.00 a hole at the local shop either and it's straight.








The forearm was pretty clean, the buttstock on the other hand was dinged, dented and oil stained, and pretty ugly after stripping and bleaching it.
