Have a couple Marlin 45/70s ...Both need barrels shortened and new dovetail to replace same front sight..Both need LOP change...one needs the mag tube shortened with the barrel....
Would also like to get the actions slicked up like butter...both are to be used hunting..Not cowboy action guns....
Any recommendations appreciated ...judt prefer a quicker turnaround if possible !
Thanks!
 
Check with Wild West Guns in Anchorage AK. They are really good with Marlin lever actions
 
I wouldn’t shorten the Marlins to 18.5”. I’ve shot my buddy’s and it kicks like a mule! HE doesn’t even shoot it anymore. My CZ 550 .458WM has less felt recoil to me.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
