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.
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.

Thanks, I sure try but I dont consider it work. For me its pure & simple fun & rewarding enjoyment.

Nope, My mom gave it to me a few years back.
Its a Cabelas product. Sure comes in handy.

Looking good. Doesn't it feel good to resurrect something, or build it yourself. That's the enjoyment for me.
