I am wanting to convert my 1974 Texan .30/30 into a close repro of the Marauder and have read prior posts here. Some of the older posts no longer have photos of similar projects undertaken by some of the members. Could those of you who have done this repost their photos?
Also have some questions--Where can I get the front sight which will be dovetailed in back of the front band?
Is a special front band needed?
Did the original Marauder use the same forearm as the Texan? Some say the arm is longer in front of the band but photos I have seen look the same as the Texan.
How many rounds did the 16 inch tube hold? Is the barrel exactly 16 inches?
What do you think a smith would charge for something like this? Does anyone know of a good one around Central Illinois?
Would Marlin do a project like this?
I appreciate any help.
