I received a package from Mic McPherson
1953 Marlin 336C .35 Rem
New wood, through bolt and bedded.
New blue finish and a Mic action job.
First three rounds at 50 yds. was 1 1/2" about an inch right.

Any chance of a "before" picture. That looks great; what is the barrel length? 20"?

Re: I received a package from Mic McPherson
I didn't get a before picture.
Just imagine the rifle with the old smooth wood oil soaked and spongy before and after the action.
The metal was all about 75%

Well Tom, it is a beauty now. He did a great job on it. Let us know how it shoots. Is it a 20" barrel?

Re: I received a package from Mic McPherson
Yes is a 20"barrel.
Open sights at 50 yards with 73 year old eyes, shooting at a blurred center, produced a 1 1/2 group just to the right of center.

That's a right handy looking short rifle and pretty too.

Re: I received a package from Mic McPherson
Had Mic do the same to my Marlin 338 XLR, plus trigger job. It shoots extremely well, and that is with the Remington round nose bullets. I posted on here a while back that I put a five shot group at 100yds within a quarter, I know, because I actually used a quarter to cover the bullets. Freaking love it! It is going moose and deer hunting next week. First time out.
Thinking about having Mic do some other things for me, I just can't decide WHAT yet. Still thinking? 356? 307? A wild cat and then have Mic work his magic??
He is class act. Kept me informed EVERY DAY and sent pictures of what he was doing and how it was going.

Re: I received a package from Mic McPherson
Tom,
Great looking rifle. Question if you don't mind? What's done with the old tang screw when the thru bolt is installed? I'm hoping to get my 1894 project gun back from the gunsmith so I can start fitting my parts & finish up metal work before it goes to Turnball for CCH and some new barrel markings.

Very nice set up you have put together. Workmanship looks superb.
Looking forward to hearing of your travels with that rifle.

Griff.
Mic's web page is full of information.
I don't know how to post an active link so you will have to do a little cut and past to see the through bolt system.
http://www.levergun.com/ThroughBoltSyst ... system.htm
Mic's page is Levergun.com and many articles by Mic, Paco, and others.
Enjoy.
