This is my version of a bubba'd Marlin. The inspiration came from another esteemed CGN member who shall remain anonymous :D
Admitedly, a couple of touch up are in store, but I kinda like it.

i remember as a child that tassles made my tricycle go faster, do the help with the external balistics of the marlin??

I am jealous of the PL stock, i want one on the 336:rockOn:
 
Aaaww, now you hoiit my feelings :D D'juno how long it took to do the ghey thangs? ;) #### yeah, another 150 fps man../ lol
 
Heck of an idea Noel, I'm on it. the nice thing about this Bubba, is you can undo it if it don't come out right ;) It gives the stock some good protection when in the scabbard and bushwacking.
 
Dude, barrel racing is for girls. Considering your location, I'll forgive you :D Unless of course, you're implying something else.....;)
 
I've been known to use the very ugly Bulter Creek slip on covers to protect wood from time to time.

I am thinking I know who you are getting the peer pressure. Someone I know recently went for a equestrian ride down your way not long ago.;)

Have you seen how he who shall remain anonamous wraps the lever with leather? That is the best thing since sliced bread and I will be doing that to me "grey rat" 38-55 very soon.

Be careful around that "guy". He's crazy....... but he has some great ideas too!
:D

I grew up on a farm in S. Ontario. We had horses, lots of horses and guess who had to muck the stalls. :(

Mostly Saddlebreds, some Standardbreds, and other mixed. My grandfather bought an old barrel racer. Nice horse, but it was a bit crazy to ride. :D

Ha, you guessed it Noel. He showed me his handy work, and yes that is where my inspiration came from. I used hides that I've got kickin' around and made up my own lacing. I must admit, I like his work better, but I was just messing around, it was too frikin' hot to go outside. I was saddled up at 5.00 am to move the bulls out on the grazing lease, came home, hot tub and a brew, and played with guns and leather....life is good. :rockOn:

You better go crash his camping party and show him how you made out!:p

The only leather work I've done this year or ever I guess was to make a leather scabbard with my 96 year old Unlce for my old Savage. It isn't pretty but I will cherish the memory of hanging out with him for a long time!

I would to build a slip over, lace up leather boot for the same gun, mostly to hide the grossly over size buttplate I refuse to grind down to match the under size stock. Might have to go play at Reuben's again.:cool:
 
SC, that will NEVER happen. It will always be leather, but Noel gave me an idea. Stay tuned, it could take a while, I'm pretty busy with work. ;)
