Have a couple Marlin 45/70s ...Both need barrels shortened and new dovetail to replace same front sight..Both need LOP change...one needs the mag tube shortened with the barrel....
Would also like to get the actions slicked up like butter...both are to be used hunting..Not cowboy action guns....
Any recommendations appreciated ...judt prefer a quicker turnaround if possible !
Thanks! [emoji1783][emoji1783][emoji1783]
 
Check with Wild West Guns in Anchorage AK. They are really good with Marlin lever actions
 
I wouldn’t shorten the Marlins to 18.5”. I’ve shot my buddy’s and it kicks like a mule! HE doesn’t even shoot it anymore. My CZ 550 .458WM has less felt recoil to me.
 
a good smith is Bill at Spring Creek Armory in TenSleep Wy 1-307-431-9194 very nice guy

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
