Dropped off my 1976 Marlin 444S today, along with $4085.

Full Color Case Hardening and polishing (action, lever, hammer, end cap)

Picked out a nice piece of 3XXX for the stock work. Now for the one year wait.......

Here's the wood I picked. The cell phone pics really don't do it justice...

Old Fishermen never die, we just get reel tired.

May you build a ladder to the stars
and climb on every rung.
May you stay......Forever young
