Ya know, I mistakenly took the sucker out for a walk, set it down because I needed both hands and I couldn't find it. I mistakenly didn't take any pictures of it either.
I was gonna, but after I sanded the 70's-era Marlin 'varnish' off the old wood and saw how nice it was, I just oil-finished it. Maybe next time, or if RamLine or somebody affordable comes out with a camo synthetic stock for the 1894.
This is as close as I got...
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

Live with honor, ride with truth. Be friendly to others. But always carry a gun on your side and a knife in your boot because there are those that do not feel the same as this.
It isn't really camo'd. It's just my 45-70 Cowboy "Critter-getter" with a Gun Chap installed.
(Oh yea, there's a little pig it shot somewhere in the picture too.)

The rifle is wrapped with a "Gun Chap" It slipps over the wood stock. My original intent with the weapon was to switch it back and forth, from camo'd to normal, to use it in long range "cowboy shooting" matches. Once the gun started wackin' everything in site, it never became "normal" again.
You can still find "Gun Chaps" online, here and there (ebay sometimes), the company is out of business I think. This one has been on a couple of my rifles in its life. Its about 25 years old.
Here is a better pic of what it looks like up-close:
No such thing. Everyone knows lever guns must have blued steel and walnut furniture. Well...'cept them fancy stainless steel Marlins....
All kidding aside, I've always wondered on the reasoning behind camo guns. Normal unpainted guns worked just fine for centuries. Oh wait....sales and marketing....now I remember....
Some people just need a sympathetic pat on the head.....with a hammer. Repeatedly.
I bought this .444 for $163.00. I stripped it right after I took this picture. It was very pretty under this paint.
