    "From rural ranch gun to a modern urban rifle."

    Starting from a simple life of Marlin 1894 CST in .357 mag, i have upgraded the rifle to a cooler and more practical/reliable rifle for target practice and home protection.

    Project detail:

    Original hand guard was swap out with Midwest engineering tactical handguard. Bradley's adjustable cheekpiece, HopticUSA ammo sleeve were added..

    Trigger is upgraded with WWG trigger kit. magazine follower and loading gate are swap out with parts from Range Point Precision.

    XS engineering lever sight rail and Riton X3 red dot sight are added to improve target acquisition. A custom made paracord 2-point sling from SLA is attached to the rifle. And for a final touch, I paracord wrapped the lever myself.

    Rifle is now different from an old -west lever-action rifle, but more of a modern lever action rifle. Love the upgraded.

    Mine is almost identical to yours. I have the ranger point load gate and trigger installed and I have a Trijicon SRO red dot. I used it at a lever gun class with Justified Defense Concepts 2 weeks ago and it was a blast. Such a fun gun to shoot. I would love to shoot it with a suppressor and see what its like. From videos it seems super quiet. Cant figure out why that picture uploaded that way
