Yeah, it's on my list, also. But Mine would never become Tacticool. It'll be set up for Small Game/Pest Control/Basic Rifle training. But my Marlin 60 seems to be handling that role just fine right now.
I picked up the stainless barrel model from Wallyworld on sale cheap and had the barrel cut down to 17" with a target crown. Other than that I stripped the paint off the receiver and left it natural aluminum, and replaced the extractor with a VQ to eliminate the occasional stovepipe. Oh and I took a file to the bolt hold-open plate so a tug on the bolt handles releases it.
It's one of my favorite rifles. Super accurate and hell on the local rodent population.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
