I just finished some work on my Marlin 336 converting it from a round barrel to octagonal and a curved lever to a straight lever.

UPDATE!

I converted my second Marlin from round to Octagon and from pistol grip to straight.

I started with this:



And Ended with this:



Hope you like how it turned out!

Very nice.

I have an XLR but i wish it was a blue rifle with an Octagonal and nice wood...


How does it shoot?


The only thing the XLR has going for it is it is a shooter.

Only "fired for function" as I had no round nose bullets available. Picked some up yesterday so I'll get out to the range later today.

But with spritzer bullets, loaded one at a time it shot a 4" group at 100yds with iron sights!

The proper straight lever arrived yesterday. I reblued it and installed........Looks great.

New pictures soon.......
