It would be that hard I agree and could even get a take down basic model directly from Marlin too.

That would be pushing it.
Remington can barely do the basic Marlin models right 10 years after the take over.
You gotta be able to crawl before you can run.
You can also get a BLR stainless takedown in 450 Marlin ~$1400CDN for 1/3 the money of a WWG Copilot ~$3500USD.
The Miroku made BLR is just as good if not a better gun.
Much stronger action than any Marlin 1895 clone.
The BLR has a box magazine permitting use of spitzer bullets.

Wild West guns happy trigger kits along with bear proof ejectors and aluminum mag followers for the Marlin levers would sell great!
I bought my first Marlin 14yrs ago and contacted WWG about some aftermarket goodies. As soon as they found out I was Canadian the the customer service plumeted and they turned into total A$$holes.
I have some WWG parts on my rifle to this day, but it was painful dealing with them.
Business must be slow....

I have seen a WWG BLR takedown in 375 Ruger - very nice gun.
I believe they have converted 1 or 2 BLRs to 458 win mag.
Impressive but have no desire to fire it.
The BLR action is rated for 65K+ psi cartridges whereas the modern Marlin 1895 rating tops out at a tad more than 40K psi.
The 45-70 load I’m using in my Marlin comes in around 39K psi (Quickload).
Have the trigger happy kit and the bear proof ejector + the brownells cowboy action spring kit.
All bought at brownells.
The Happy trigger in my 1895GS is so light and crisp that I have to warn guys before they shoot it for the first time.
Do you guys have a price list now? I had a look on your site, but did not see any product listed from Wild West.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Yep, me too.......and it came shipped fast from the states.
Glad to see that prophet river is bringing stuff in.....but I'm also glad that there are other options for ppl in canada...that will keep the prices within reason....

Don’t know if Prophet River has a resident gunsmith but a WWG/PR associated Canadian gunsmith should be trained in how to build/modify a takedown Co-pilot model rife from a basic Remlin 1895.
