I ordered their larger loop for my Marlin 1895G and must say that I am impressed with it. It seems to be just a bit narrower than the gbl and that may be because it's on a straight stock. Needless to say I like that it seems a bit narrower.

I've got one of their combo peep sights/rails on my "tactical" 336. It's a nice piece of hardware. I bought it at their shop in Cypress when visiting my fiancee; the owner is a pretty nice guy and their 1894 10mm/45/9 conversions are

I picked up one of their flyweight loading gates and aluminum followers. Definitely happy with both. The loading gate is a lot easier to manipulate.

Did you try lightening the OEM part first? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Indeed. Loading gate. Blue follower. Dovetail blank filler. Good products. |

Its a leaf spring. Remove material from the spring and it will get lighter. If that is too scary for someone you can just take a little of the bend out and again, it will be lighter. Went to far with your bend? Just put a little more back in. Been doing this for years, I've never ended up with anything other than a lighter sprung loading gate.

I did the grind away metal method on a few of my guns, no issues and works great.
You don't grind the "thin" direction (ie. the direction the spring bends), you grind off the longer direction (the vertical axis when the gun is upright). So taking off 1/2 the metal makes the spring 1/2 as stiff. On my 1895 I also smoothed out the inside of the gate where the case head of the rear-most round in the magazine sits against the gate. When you push the gate in it pushes the already loaded rounds forward slightly against the magazine spring. The contact points on my 1895 gate were a bit rough and smoothing them made a noticeable difference. |

I have the clover peep, mid size lever, lever shims, and loading gate. Absolutely rock solid lever gun stuff.
I used the rear dovetail for a small rail and a MRD sight. |

I use their rear dovetail blanks in all of my leverguns. I also have their sights on my '75 Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. That one is my hog gun. Sights work great with the fiber optic front. Very fast and accurate setup.
I haven't messed with anything else but thought about one of the levers for my 1895G. I don't need the loading gates because I don't have problems with the factory ones. |
