Ranger Point Precision for Marlin Leverguns

Anybody have any experience with their products? They don't ship to Canada but their stuff looks well though out.

It'd be nice to have a Canadian manufacturer to make similar aperture sights, takedown screw, medium enlarged lever, loading gate etc.

I run that cloverleaf sight in your picture on my 1894CSBL. Excellent quality and very low-profile,and I've had them all at one point or another...Skinner, XS/Ashley,Williams etc.
Also lightened up my rifle by 4OZs ditching the XS full rail.
Will try and post some pics when I have time.

I wish one of the site sponsors would start carrying their stuff. You'd think there's enough Marlins in our country to make it worth it for them.

How do you get them shipped from the USA right now? When I emailed the suggested exporters the export fee was more than the combination of all the small parts added together. Would a Canadian manufacturer be able to at least make the easy takedown screw?

Most folks with Marlins are simply unaware of RPP and their offerings.
In the "upgraded" sight department XS,Williams,Skinner etc. seem to hold the lions share of the market.
RPP has innovative parts but they are more than most people are willing to pay for a 500$ Marlin even in the US where they aren't faced with added import/currency conversion fees.
Marlins' marketing department is also absolutely knocking it out of the park right now with new models and configurations that have that custom look right out of the box.
A 336 Dark is a radical departure from the plain 'ol 336 in the looks department!

That's the only legal way to get them at this time. It's the same with almost any custom firearm accessory or service from a small shop stateside and sometimes it makes me want to cry when I see how I could accessorize one of my guns if only I could get the part.
I imported a large lot of parts from RPP to take some of the sting off the purchase...but lemme tell you it still hurt.
No "regerts" however, as I have the satisfaction of adding that personal touch to my CSBL.

I've looked at VT Services for RPP stuff. I've been shy to order, when I add a lever to the cart it only shows a $12.25USD shipping cost to my Canadian address, no added export cost. Am I missing something? Do they come back after you order with 'export charges'?

I'd like to find a source for the RPP or similar lever shims. Don't see them as available on VT Services web site.

Marlin parts are available from Gravel. I pulled a bone head move and some how lost a screw in my made in 1900, Marlin 1894, the modern replacement fits perfect.
Prophet River has some stock of Wild West Guns Marlin Parts, like their 'Bear Proof Ejector'.
I've seen taps on Brownell's for the weird Marlin threads.
Skinner Sights, I like their peep sights, and they ship.

ATM a RPP Lever on VT's site is $140USD. WWG's lever on their site is $179USD.

We should just make all this stuff up here since we have the talent and lever-action popularity is high up here. Start with the simple stuff and then work up to levers and sights.
