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

Hello @caanaya5711, this is JD Noblin and I saw your thread about a new Double. I am a Chapuis dealer and have a new Elan Classic 470 Nitro in stock for $18,199....it is listed on GunsInternational. Feel free to call to discuss, 405/822.1564.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.
