I have but I also wanted the action gone through and tuned, especially with the addition of the RPP parts being installed. While I typically would give it a shot given the basics dont seem overly complicated, its just something Id rather spend the money to make sure its done properly. Which is also why Im after a Marlin specific smith to do the work vs any old smith with a lathe.
