[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3669345, member: 35036"] So, I recently picked up a Marlin 1894 from a member on here, fulfilling a longtime dream of having a 357mag lever gun. It’s gonna be a dedicated brush/hog/truck gun. After messing around with it (haven’t had time to get to the range) I’ve found a few things: the forend is wide and awkward, the buttstock doesn’t give me enough cheek weld, and it’s heavier than expected. My hand is also too wide for the lever. It is a fine firearm otherwise. so I’m gonna save the original wood, and turn it into a cowboy assault rifle. Bring the fire and stake, I’m ready. Here’s the questions: cutting the barrel down to 16.25”, I understand it won’t affect the ballistics much, but is it gonna be worth it? Am I going to regret it? Anyone on here have a carbon fiber bagging system? Ive looked and searched, and have been unable to find a straight stock synthetic stock for the 1894. Anyone have one, or know of one? [/QUOTE]
