Every instruction book, YouTube video, and AI suggestion said just a few whacks with a punch and hammer would get this dovetail out. Having to break out a cutting wheel on a brand new rifle is not ideal, but it’s done and installed. Almost had to completely cut it in half to get it to budge.

Just traded a bar of silver for this bad boy. It’s laminate stock and fore grip so I don’t feel bad about replacing those parts. These are the add ons I have on the way. Gotta have the see through scope mounts to still use the iron sights. That being said, I’ve seen some hate for WOOX furniture on here. Anyone explain why? I have the old 30-30 that I posted a while back so the antique will stay original.

With a few extra steps involved, I traded my bar of silver (with enough left over for a scope that’s on the way) for my dream cowboy rifle! (45-70 if there’s any gun nuts in here) Thanks for the words of encouragement!

She healthy 👀

Sent package to GA day, then sent another to Washington (almost the opposite side of the country) the day after. Both went through Charlotte.

Seen this lost soul on a “gift card for guns” post.

About 21yrs ago when I was 10, I seen a lever action on an old western my grandfather was watching. I just had to have one. Hyper fixated for weeks. We ended up at a flea market and he was done listening to me about it so he went out and found this gem. It’s been one of my prized possessions ever since. He passed away this past January so it’s now even more close to my heart.

After joining this page I have found these “space cowboy” builds, along with another hyper fixation. I’m in the process of finding a Marlin 1895 45-70 to tear apart and build my own.

Anyone have some info on this rifle? Year made and all that.

Took 29oz in to a pawn/gun shop here in Virginia yesterday looking to do some trading for a lever action rifle that I’ve been wanting. The Scottsdale could’ve been an even trade alone.

He asked what I was wanting out of them and I gave him the ol “Well spot price is 76 right now and I’m sure you’re gonna want to get them for under spot, and then you’re gonna put a premium on them to resell. So what will you offer.”……

Most he could do was $50 an oz…. 😂😂😂

I just laughed and reached across the counter and grabbed my things and said have a nice day. He started to stutter and and asked what I thought I could get out of them. I was even kind and said I could probably get $68 an oz at the jeweler down the road. He said his smelters weren’t even paying that. BROTHER, THIS AINT SCRAP. Anyway, be looking for this post on PMForSale later.

I just wanted to be a cowboy and buy a lever action with silver 😑
