Thanks, guys !! How about sights ? Here's a pic of the gun, I cut and sanded stock and slenderized forearm too !! Painted all metal parts textured gray and camo'd the wood !! Not into fancy looking guns, just want them to work !!

Hey guys, I just finished putting an old Marlin 336 back together that I stripped and customized. I made it a straight stock and lever. It was a junker I got from a buddy so I made it a project. Looks good I'll try to post a pic later. This is my first levergun and I am going to use it for my Adiron...

Congrats !!

I would like to buy a levergun for hunting the Adirondacks in NY. My shots are usually close range in thick stuff, tops 150 yards across a swamp. I'd like a light, short rifle, I was thinking a larger bore like a 444 or 44 mag, maybe a 45-70. I'd like a Winchester 94, I'd like to hear your opinions ...

Hey Guys, I'm converting my 336W 30/30 from a pistol grip to straight stock without buying parts. It's coming out very nice actually, all I have to do now is the lever & it's done other than refinishing. I'd like to see some pics of guns you've done with different shades of stain, I don't know w...

My friend has a levergun from Sears. Looks like a Marlin 336. On barrel: Sears & Roebuck, 103.451, Model 45, 30/30 cal. Under lever # is : Y28893. It has no safety & is mint. What is this & what's it worth ? Thanks, John

I am looking at a coworkers gun to buy. It is a Marlin 336w, 30/30, microgroove 20" barrel. He bought it at Walmart about 5 years ago. It says Marlin on it but I don't see any serial #'s on it(not sure where they're supposed to be).It has maybe 100 rounds through it but he said the first time h...

I can get a Marlin 336 30/30 pretty cheap from a friend. Can I get a straight stock & lever to fit this gun ? It can be wood or synthetic. If so , where ? Thanks for the help. John

What load do you guys recommend in 44 mag for hunting whitetail in heavy brush to semi open hardwoods, I hunt in NY (Adirondacks) & most shots under 100 yards. I want a load with the most accuracy & heavy thumpin' power all in one at 100 yards. Please recommend a factory load & a custom ...

Could I have the barrel shortened on a marlin 1894 or 1894SS to a 16" trapper style length ? I like the 1894SS but I want the shorter barrel for tight cover hunting. Thanks,John

Looks like the 44 mag would be the best or should I instead look at a 30-30 trapper ? I'd rather have a heavier bullet though . I think. Your right, I think I may have to buy em all. Keep it comin guys, Thanks John

I want the lighter gun for hunting , that is why I want one of these calibers. Otherwise I would get a 45-70. Thanks guys, keep it comin' , John

I am down to 2 calibers. I have found numerous guns in either caliber & just want to hear more opinions on both as far as accuracy to 125 yards, etc. I do not reload as of yet but I may in the future. I am going to go for a 16" barrel, in a winchester 94ae trapper in .44 mag or .45 colt, or...

I know the rules. I am a very safe hunter, but I have heard many stories about the guns going off while loading, etc. etc. because of no safety. That is why I was concerned. From what I am hearing here, there really is no reason for concern about any of that. I have never seen it happen myself or ev...

I'm not worried about my finger hitting the trigger. Sometimes in the snow & swamps it can get slippery, I don't want any accidents up in the mountains. Thanks for the help guys, keep it comin'. John

I don't know alot about rifles so I have a few questions. What makes a lever action CARBINE rifle different from any other. I'm still deciding on my next rifle for the Adirondacks, I think I want a Winchester 94ae trapper with either a tang or crossbolt safety in a 44mag.Meanc has the rifle I want!!...

Hi Guys, I hunt the Adirondack Mountains in NY every year & I am looking into buying a leveraction in a .44mag. I would like any input as to what brands are the best & what to look for. I would like a very durable, lightweight gun possibly in stainless steel. I might even possibly like a cus...
