[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Project Martini: Turning a Marlin Camp carbine into a European target pistol (Page 3 of 3)

Quoted: I hesitate to recommend it, but NCStar has some "futuristic" looking red dot sights that might work. They even have some that flip up. We’ve been discussing them, but they’re really just a meme. I think most likely I’m gonna end up with an Aimpoint Micro or equivalent. Should sit low enough on the rail, visually match the aesthetic flow of the gun, and actual NRA Bullseye shooters have been using Micros on target pistols for a long time now:

I don't, b/c half the time the stock will be off the gun to revert back to pistol status while traveling through school zones, & to go into beer stores. Spare mags are in the sling bag it rides in. The important thing is the stock comes off & goes on easily, to satisfy Federal definitions of what is & what isn't a pistol or a rifle quickly. |

It needs to be really lightweight since it's on a .22 conversion kit and too much weight can effect cycling. |

Hello! Sorry everyone life smacked me upside the forehead pretty good over the last month (in a good way), but it’s kept me from gun projects for a bit now. Haven’t heard from my gunsmith about this yet but I’ll be getting in touch this weekend to see about any updates. Should have more to share fairly soon! |
