Pic of my Marlin 308MX, that I made to look as I want it to look.
I´ve cut the trigger guard plate, chopped of the pistolgrip on the stock, shaved of a serious amount of wood on the front wood, and made my own full lenhgt mag-tube. I also made the ring to keep the mag in place...
Well, here goes....
The lever is slightly enlarged, and I straightened it in the top half.

The pistolgrip was cut and shaved, and I took all of the old finish of both wood-pieces. There is actually really nice wood in there, but my IPhone´s camera ain´t the best way to capture it...

It doesn´t show all to well, but there is a ring to hold the magtube. The ring attaches to the dovetail in the barrel where the original stud for the magtube used to sit.

And finally, a full view of the rifle... All in all, I´m very happy with the outcome of this little project, the rifle looks a lot better this way in my opinion.

This is what it looked like just two weeks ago...
