Re: Custom Armaloy Marlin 1894c
When I first saw it, I thought it was a stainless 1894c and the $415 price made me take a second look. As soon as I cycled the action I knew this one was coming home with me, it's the slickest Marlin I've ever handled. The buttplate is a nice added touch, but whoever did the wood took off too much m...

A good friend of mine in Kansas has had a couple of big labs that were like that, over 100#, unbelievably strong, and with more "guard dog" in them than you would expect from a lab. In fact he has a chocolate male right now that has those traits, he is a heck of a dog.

Custom Armaloy Marlin 1894c
I ran across this one at a local gunshop that usually has completely outrageous prices, but this one was $415 and I snapped it up. It's a pre-safety Marlin 1894c that has been Armaloy plated, the buttplate has been replaced with a a metal buttplate, similar to a saddle ring carbine buttplate. The ac...
