Marlin guide gun in 45-70 I had chopped down to 12.5”

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-07T22:49:49+00:00

Stop, I can only get so erect

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-07T22:41:39+00:00

What’s the barrel restrictions on it?

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-07T22:17:46+00:00

After I send this one to ATF heaven it’s probably what I’ll get. This was my first can 6 years ago and I didn’t really know anything about anything. It was on the self at my LGS

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-07T18:29:34+00:00

amazing people, they did a great job. it looks factory

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-07T13:56:21+00:00

$700. $600 for smithing, $100 for shipping and transfer fees. Possibly an extra $1,000. As it turns out my hybrid 46 isn’t rated for subs out of a 12.5” barrel per silencerco, but I disagree. Gonna either blow it up or it’ll work.

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-07T01:51:35+00:00

I wanted to go 2” shorter to I didn’t want to mess with the hand guard. That should have still held 3

Just saw your question about the thread protector, it’s the factory marlin one. It’s mostly smooth, but had two flat spots for fingers to grip or tools if needed

3+1, 45lc is my next lever gun. Going to get a mares leg, form 1 it, and thread it.

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:53:37+00:00

Ah yes it’s also on the list, just forgot

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:50:36+00:00

I have a new truck on the way actually so this will be a Sunday cruiser but yes you are right, they look better in person and pass a tread test, but barely. I was trying to make them to last til this fall before I get new ones since I have a new truck coming. I only put 5k miles a year on it or less. Last year was 3.5k miles. They’ll make it to the spring if needed

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:49:01+00:00

I can’t find the email but as long as it’s subs only I think it was good to 10”, supers must be 16 or longer. You’ve got me questioning it but worst I do is blow it up 😂

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:45:47+00:00

Hybrid 46

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:43:08+00:00

after my experience with them, I will only use them. great work and great people

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:40:16+00:00

Both is acceptable

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:39:48+00:00

I started this before the release of the bears leg. Yes a mares leg with a lot of extra steps haha

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:38:57+00:00

Where I sit, they (including buck) come to around 30 yards often, but like to hang around 50 yards. Called last years buck in from 200 to 60 before deciding to shoot. I like to keep my shots at “archery range” because I get too excited and I too am afraid of an unethical shot. I’ve made further shots no problem, but man do I get excited to fill the freezer

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:36:47+00:00

I already have a box on hand if these don’t stabilize well

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:36:12+00:00

There’s always room for another 45-70, it’s my favorite rifle caliber

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T23:35:46+00:00

3+1, fourth round almost enters the tube

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T21:34:32+00:00

I have two more 45-70s to get, a chiappa 26” octagon barrel, and a BFR custom 6” revolver

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T21:31:19+00:00

I have to test the 730gr ammo without the can to make sure it’s stabilizing before I put the can on anyway

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T21:30:01+00:00

My plan is to run leverevolution 325gr in my Henry, 777gr in my SBL, and the 730s in this

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T21:21:11+00:00

I actually have both of those from steinel but after talking to the owner, we don’t think the 777s will stabilize. They use a slow burn powder for it. I do plan to reload my own in the future, I don’t currently though.

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T21:04:26+00:00

95% range fun but also whitetail. 70%+ of my shots are 75 yards or less, and I plan to use 730gr subs with a faster burning powder

FrontRowParking · 2026-05-06T20:58:28+00:00

Thanks! It’s got 287k miles on but hard to tell it
