FWIW, I'd first stain the spacers to match the stock wood and see how that looks.

He's a good dude, just don't expect him to answer his phone - he's too busy to waste time doing that.

I always just sent him the gun with a check included, and was never disappointed.

Color me different, but I like it as-is - as living history.

With the idea of never judging a book by it's cover, the first things I would do if it was mine would be to scour the bore and...

IDK, but if it shoots a boolit fast enough to reach out and touch a deer, it's good enough for me....... :bigsmyl2:

Beeswax = 0%, Crisco = 100%

I've always used straight Crisco in the chamber mouths - besides lubing the barrel/boolit, as the sloppiness spreads around the revolver during repeated firing, it...

Strong enough, but a CF breechblock or a conversion of the RF breechblock to CF would be required, at the least (like extractor work).

Most Marlins issued with a PG stock have curved lower tang surfaces that give a distance from the top tang about 1/2" more than a straight tang gun - just like most Winchester 92/94 leverguns.

Then the barrel latching needs repair - just replacing the latch alone may/may not be the end all be all to the repair.

FWIW, the lever doesn't need to be re-shaped IME
