Gun stuff
I got a 39M from a forum member about a year or so ago. Great little gun but the stock was beat up & had a couple deep gouges.
I was bored & ended up stripping it & reshaping it both to get rid of the gouges & to make it more to my liking.
While I was down there I figured I should do something with this pile of 1889 parts,
They aint really all 1889 parts. I fitted a 336 trigger & sear in because I couldn't find 1889 parts.
This is the barrel on the gun now. Its ringed in a couple places,
This is the barrel it will be wearing soon. Its a 1889 38/40 barrel thats been reblued but the bores shot. I'll get it relined as soon as I get my 1894 back.

A couple reasons really.runfiverun wrote:why re-line just have it bored up to 44-40
you'll like it tis like having a 44 special rifle, only cooler
Its a parts gun so I guess it really dont matter but it was born a 38/40 so I'd rather keep it as such for one. For another I already have this one. It's a 1889 Marlin as well but in 44/40.
