1894 IS JUST TOO NICE NOT TO LET YOU SEE

Mr_Smith · August 12, 2011, 3:29pm

There are days that you know don’t happen often.
This is one of those so I thought you should see it as well.

I am truly blest to have some good friends and god in my life.

Both of the guns in this post came to me thru friends and I will do my best to pass them on to the right people some day.

You may have out done yourself on that one. Nice

Mr_Smith · August 12, 2011, 4:12pm

Thank you the pair is something to see.

Great looking lever gun.

Is that a Marlin?

titsonritz · August 12, 2011, 5:33pm

No it’s a Superior Marlin.

Mr_Smith · August 12, 2011, 6:00pm

Thanks guys the gun is a Marlin 1894 and I spent all the time on it.

The difference is Superior.

fullmetalredhead · August 12, 2011, 6:33pm

Interesting. So you’ve stripped off the Marshield coating and refinished finished the stock? And added a rail and changed out the front sight? Anything else?

Mr_Smith · August 12, 2011, 6:47pm

Thank you

Action work
Cut the barrel crown
Go thru the gun inside
Tune the ejector

This is just some of the things.

fullmetalredhead · August 12, 2011, 7:25pm

That’s great. I’m sure you’re polishing the part of the extractor mechanism responsible for the dreaded Marlin jam. I’ve got an 1894SS in .44 magnum I love to shoot. These are great, fun guns.

That wood is BEAUTIFUL !!

As a fan of the Winchester 1894 I approve of this. Very cool rifle!

Naxet1959 · August 12, 2011, 9:31pm

Truly these are works of art! A privilege to view.

Mr_Smith · August 12, 2011, 10:08pm

I thank all of you for your nice words.
Currently I am doing a Winchester 1886 45/70 that I am cutting down to 16.5 inch.
It is going to be a nice gun I think I will have to have one for myself in the end.

J-Dub · August 13, 2011, 2:20pm

Please post pics of the winchester.

My buddy has a pre 64 m94 that is pretty beat up, and forsale. I’ve been thinking about getting it and refinishing the wood, cut it down to 16.5 and either duracoat or park.

Mr_Smith · August 13, 2011, 2:38pm

I will post pics of the gun when it is ready.
Right now it is in hunks.
If you get the 94 I can bring it back to life and you will love it forever.

J-Dub · August 13, 2011, 2:49pm

Which is exactly why i’m interested to see that '86

RWBlue · August 13, 2011, 2:54pm

Very nice.

Mr_Smith · August 13, 2011, 3:16pm

Thanks guys.

Beautiful!

I love the blueing. I only just this week discovered the wonders of gun blueing. All this time I thought the “man” finish was cerakote, or some other expensive shit. I got that stuff, and that shit works too. BUT, blueing is an art. It’s fucking nuts as you do it and the steel’s chemical composition changes right in front of your eyes. It’s old school magic. Alchemy. The primitives must have thought the process was from God. It’s fucking cool. Try blueing something. It’s fun.
