It looks like a Marlin model 30AS with the cheap birch wood. I just cant warm up to light color stocks. Dark walnut is the only wood that sings out to me. BUT....variety is the spice of life. Not everyone see's things like me.
My Grandfather always said " Kid...............if you meet more than one arsehole in a day, chances are you are the arsehole. "
The Maple looks great, too bad its chambered in old & tired 30-30.
Why aren't the lever gun manufacturers updating their models in .450 BushMaster, .300 Blackout, or even 7.62X39?
Stuck in the obsolete past no doubt. Unenlightened. Big Horn Armory chambers their lever guns in 460 S&W & 500S&W too.

It would have to retail less than a comparable walnut version for me to purchase it. I'd also need to hand select mine.
Hope the maple stock is stronger than the stock on my Remlin 1895GS which split at the tang after less than 20 rounds.
Not that stiff a load.
(52.5 gr IMR-3031, 405 grain Woodleigh Weldcore, Lee factory crimp die)
Gonna have to import one from Boyds.
OOOoooo that's purdy
*edit* Nomad 68 mentioned they'd have to be able to hand pick theirs; I agree. I would want to pick mine for the right grain etc.

Maybe if the checkering is crisp, clean with angular, well defined lines to grip my hands.
If it’s the usual blunt, pressed checkering no thanks.

Registration leads to confiscation .
Maybe I missed it, but what's the price of that rig?
