These mods have spurred a resurgence in the lever action market.

There are a couple guys on the Marlin Owners forum that do this sort of thing with beat up guns.  I don't think it looks bad or ugly, but it does not seem to be particularly useful either.  Like, what's the point, other than to appear modern.

What the everloving HELL happened to that poor rifle? 

Lol. I’ve been wanting to do this for years. Someone sent me this photo a while ago and it gave me the itch:

I looked everywhere for a .38/.357 at a decent price and none were out there. Finally got a .44 version at a very good price. 

I just got the Ranger Point Precision trigger, loading gate, and handguard already. The MI stuff on that 336 is nice, but I like the Ranger Point stuff a little better and the MI handguard won’t fit on the barrel banded model 1894 that I have)

Deciding on stock and top rail next.

The Fight Light is completely different animal in my opinion. Thats a mag fed lower that will take any AR upper to make a 50 state legal lever action rifle in 5.56 or .300blk (or any cartridge that’s will fit in an AR mag and it’s corresponding upper)

THAT rifle is one thing….the other one is an abortion. Looks like it got beaten with a Tapco catalog. 
 

Wow…I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!

You will be hard pressed to find a better outfit than RPP when it comes to Marlins.  They are very popular on the Marlin forum.  They sometimes have special offers for MO members.  I thought about getting one of their loading gates for my 336.

We stray further and further from God..........

RPP does makes some interesting stuff though. Those adj. aluminum buttstocks from Chisel Machining are pricey. Certainly makes for an all-weather piece though.

Don't get me wrong, have a few older marlins that I got lucky with quality and fit/finish. Just a wood lover, and the Henry's really are beautiful pieces. That said, I do like the look of this Marlin, and I'll definitely keep my eye out for a cheap Marlin with crappy wood, to make one of these.

    • Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.
    • F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
    • The rifle permit is just an add-on to your hunting license. No separate course required.
    • Ahhh ... Chicken Wing ! It works when you practice it.  Nice unsupported offhand, sir.
