The Tactical Level Short Barrel

In the shop right now we are working on another great project. We are building a short barreled Marlin 30/30. When I saw short I mean the barrel length will be 16 1/2 inches, threaded to 5/8 24, and then fit with a Primary Weapon System 30 caliber muzzle break. The magazine tube will be cut down accordingly to accommodate the shorter barrel. We will be mounting a XS Sight rail along with an Eotech sight with the quick release mount. A quad rail accessory mount is also in the works for this project. For back up sights, we might be installing AR-15 style flip ups both front and rear. The complete action will be worked over alone with the trigger. Getting excited to finish up this project so that we can post some pictures.

The Tactical Lever Action

This was a fun project. Took a Marlin model 336 chambered in 30-30win and completely disassembled it. Every internal part was lapped and polished to the point that you could see yourself in it. The bluing was stripped off and the Aluma-Hyde II was applied. The birch wood stock was sanded and then refinished with Aluma-Hyde II which gave it a synthetic look and feel. New open sights were installed and a fiber optic front sight was installed. This action is so smooth that you can operate it with one finger. The barrel was re crowned with a crown similar to a target crown.
