Modified Marlin 45-70s. Space age and Tacticool!

[Bartledan]

Me and a buddy got some custom work done on our Marlin 1895s. The plain Jane blued 1895 belongs to me, the space age sooper silver job to a friend.

PM me for the name of the gunsmith (CGN posting rules, eh?)

The sights on your friends gun are cool but how could he or she desecrate a marlin with thar engraving.

 

[catnthehatt]

Interesting, to say thee least!
How much weight did you save, or was all the scalloping and hole-drilling just for the cool factor?

I need to go find a bottle of pepto after seeing that........

Where are the dingle balls?

 

[SuperCub]

Seems like the reaction is mixed.

I should do some of those "upgrades" to my 760 and take it to the uber Barf-O-Matic level.

My Dad always told me if you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything.

I guess to each his own...

look kind of neat -but make me think of some of the show motorcycles they build in a week on the TV shows.

the weight reduction ideas look interesting

Looks awesome!

That's true, but this IS the internet, so what we say means very little.

Have you fired one of those .45-70 Marlin Guide Guns with handloads!? ONLY if you are going to shoot nothing but factory ammo!!

might be interesting. I mostly run close to max handloads in mine and yes it's nice to have the pachmayr decelerator pad

 

[Jeff/1911]

Wow, really neat!

Bartledan,

Those look cool, man! I think the blued one looks the nicest but they are both gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us all.

Cool looking gun.

The guys that dont' like it are just jealous...

i love the blue one but the SS one is overboard to my taste but its your gun and not a collectible so i 100% support your right to do as you god dam please

I like, probably wouldn't do it to mine because it's more utilitarian (fishing rifle) but it makes your Marlin stand out from the other thousands out there.
Good idea, well executed.

Niiiice!


Just kidding, I think both are cool-looking.
