    I have been on a search, for quit sometime I might add, for a particular gun.

    When these guns were first brought to market, they could be had from $500-$700. However, Marlin just couldn't seem to either make them for very long are keep up with demand.

    Now, add in the effect of current Remington/Marlin buyout/merger plant move, and with ReMarlin crappy QC, this is what a good quality Marlin 1894cs is going for on GB.

    This is the exact gun I have been looking for for over two years. However, I refuse to pay that price, I just can not stomach that price for that type of gun.

    And to be honest, Marlin was going to bring a 1894csbl to market, but again the merger and QC issues completely derailed that gun too. When it was first talked about I really liked it better than the 1894cs that I have been lusting for.

    Sigh, sorry to whine, but doggonit, I really want to complete the little project I have in the works.

    I haven't seen one with the rail on top, but the SS Marlin, USED to be about $100.00 or 150.00 higher than the blued one.... I agree, that PRICE, is rediculos ..... :twocents:

    I have wanted almost that exact same one for a while too, I love the stainless and laminate look. But there is no way I would pay that either.

    Evan, think how cool the above pictured 1894csbl would be with threaded barrel, Aimpoint t1 , a custom made SS suppressor shooting .38spl loads.

    I had contemplated a "tactical levergun" project just before I was bitten with the AR bug. I think your project sounds freakin' awesome!
