1969 WesternField (Marlin) 30-30

[crazy mark]

I just redid the wood on this $200 gun. The previous owner had put some ugly coating on it. Took it off and light sanded it. The Medallion was missing so I put one of the first man on the moon commemorative coin in the opening. The metal was better than 95%. It has light Cherry stain and 3 coats of truoil.

Nice job, it looks realy good. Have you shot it yet?

Ain't it fun to find one like this. Put in a little work and make it your own. Turn it into a gun you want to be seen using. I like the idea of the man on the moon coin. That makes it a 'one-of-a-kind' and a collectors item worth far more than anyone would deem reasonable.:lol:
Nice Job Mark. Helice

I like it,and the true oil is what I will probaly be useing on my old Stevens project.Good job, and like said the coin really sets things off.Inside the sling looks like you have some favorite loads already worked up with cast boolits:wink:.Dakoma

Ya done good, I like it

[crazy mark]

Thanks,
The loads are ones that seem to work good in my other 3 - 336's. The 1969 is the year I graduated from High school, turned 18, joined the Coast Guard, Finished building the house I own in Washington, and other minor things. Had the coin just sitting around and it seemed the thing to do. I haven't shot it yet but that will happen soon. I may change the sight but shooting it with open sights will be the determining factor. Mark
