Looks pretty cool so far. Looking forward to seeing more pictures, and especially the finished project.

if you really wanted to make it NFA you should have done the full auto conversion
looks great, I think I've seen your shortened stuff before. A lever gun is fast, thin, and handy. I eventually want an SBR with a can for hunting. Also your work makes me jealous I don't have tools or skills to pull something like this off. |

@steviesterno16 you should do it. I used this 16" 45-70 for deer last fall but found it somewhat unwieldy and nose heavy in the field. I am getting ready to build a 12" SBR using an identical host so am hoping to get the stamp back soon. My deer tags came in the mail today so it won't be long. https://i.imgur.com/Fd72dSfh.jpg View Quote |

I dont see many guns I'd like to own much now a days. But that's one I would . Turned out great ! Well done !

I really like what I see, nice job. Now all that’s left to do is change the LOP to 11” and send it to me.
|
|
I’m glad I stumbled upon this thread. Can’t wait for the finished product.

Very very nice!
I wish Marlin would make that gun in some serious ( although uncommon) pistol rounds like 454 casull, 460 & 500 S&W. |

Thanks man. That would be cool but I don't know if the 1894 action would hold up to those pressures, especially the 454. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The set of green vise pads, where did you get them? They look very handy.

Just look at how little metal there is between the chamber and the threads. Good job man. Work looks nice. View Quote |

So why don't they beef it up a bit & save me the almost 3K I'm going to end up spending on Thishttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/9106/930382e8f1d8419aa32c62ff9502c7ab1-1-699243.JPG View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I have been wanting to do this for a while now... Awesome work.

Man you know what's up if you have a patternmakers rasp.
I like Laurel Mountain Forges Permalyn for finishing wood. |
|
Never tried the permalyn but have heard good things about it. I might order some for another Marlin project that has some nicely figured stocks.
