I just put in a safety replacement screw that I bought from Long Hunter Shooting Supply on my Marlin and it is really nice and blends in well. Their web address is :
http://www.longhunt.com/action_work/action_work.shtml
and this is for the crossbolt safety replacement. They have really fast service and they also offer action and trigger jobs as well. I had an action job done which wasn't done by them but next time it will be. Let me tell you, and I own both, there is no comparison between a Winchester and a Marlin 1894(after the action job). The Marlin is unbelievable and the Winchester (even just by it's design) is a clunker. I am selling my nice pre 64 Winchester 94 to buy another Marlin. NO COMPARISON!




wiktor!
Couldn't agree with you more, . And afore you send your Marlin off for an action job, have a look at this,

I've been doing my various Marlins on the kitchen table, doesn't take much, and very satisfying, said the lil Red Hen.

Chuck,
There were some photos on the old Marlintalk website. I have the information on the conversion kit;
Made by Clyde Ludwig
box 26156
Wauwatosa, WI 53226-0516
phone 414-536-1101
I bought 3 kits for $9.95 each ( I think?? could have been $7.95) and shipping was $3.00
I have 2 kits installed -- one on a 1895 Cowboy converted to .50 Alaskan and the other on a 1894 .44 Mag.
installation procedures;
1 remove screw holding on butt stock and remove stock
2 remove 5/64 allen head screw (he includes correct allen wrench in kit)
3 save small ball an spring under allen screw--put on 1/2 4 cock and let saftey fall out.
5 slide in blank from right sideand alingn detent hole, make positve blank is rotated so hammer contacts firing pin
6 replace ball, spring and set screw-- put butt stock backon.
As I have an uninstalled kit and a couple of rifles done-- I would be happy to send you photos of a kit and finished guns-- I have a web cam. Let me know if you would like to have them
Chuck -- I belive you could have the saftey kit in and have the gun case colored with it in place, the finished kit looks like a screw in the reciever and is complete with a slot on one side.
