These folks are doing some cool stuff! Look at these Marlin short-stroke conversions: http://www.rangerpointprecision.com/marlin-1894-shortstroke-45acp-10mm-357si.
I'm guessing all your strokes are short strokes! lol
Personal opinion only, but most of those don't appeal to me style wise. Guess I'm to much of a traditional gun style person.
Did you see anything about how short the stroke is? I LOVE my BL22 because I can cycle the lever without even taking my thumb off the top of the grip....just flick the fingers. Would be cool if someone got a centerfire lever action down that short or close even. (The throw on the Winchester 1887 and 1901 shotguns are crazy long).
I guess if its only like this it doesnt change alot like I was hoping.

Sure its better...but nothing like the BL22.

I'll bet those rifles aren't cheap!
On their website they describe shortening the stroke, but I don't know how much. I'll be doing more digging, but probably calling them would be informative about this also.
Man that would be sweet. Thanks for sharing. I love lever guns. I have a couple 336s in 3030. The gun I learned to shoot on is a Marlin 39a Mountie 22LR built in 1961. Was my dads first gun as well.
It'd be fun to pick up an 1894 with a 16" barrel chambered in 9mm suppressed. Would probably make an exceptional host.
