Really like the looks of your rifle! How does it shoulder with the longer tube and new sights? The leather looks great too! Where did you get the leather cuff?

Is that Grizzly Custom Guns product?

Sharp all the same.

 

[Belt-Feeder]

Looks great! I hope you had other fine rifles to busy you during the wait.

Sweet!


I had an 1895SS set up almost exactly like that (but with a standard lever and Ashley sights) as my bear rifle for the first few years I lived in Alaska. I loved it. Took a bunch of grouse with it, too (.410 shell)


Had to sell it because of some $ issues, but I'd do it again, only with a straight grip and a Skinner Tactical rear site this time.

Very nice!!!

jonran, that is one great looking outfit. I never thought much of the leather on the butt stock but after seeing yours, I really would consider one.

Great looking rifle! That forearm wood is very nice.

 

[Pitchy]

Awesome 8)

One question I got with that leather I see on folks stocks, is there any chance of damage to the stock after being on the gun after a long period of time? It's been something I've always wanted on my rifles, but always worried that maybe it might hurt the stocks finish after a while. Set me straight fellas. ;D

I am awaiting almost the exact same work. I sent my 1895 to Brockman's for a full mag tube & recoil pad, and I look forward to its return. Not much shooting during winter in Maine, but as the days get longer my excitement is building. Yours look wicked nice.

Before I put the leather on my stock-I rubbed some Minwax rub on poly with a piece of cloth over the original Marlin finish for added protection-I also did the same with the foregrip so that the furniture would match.
