Those brown parts you see in the picture are A-2 tool steel hardened and tempered. Later when I rebuilt the original 1892 I used S-7 tool steel and redesigned the breechblock so it has more steel in the critical areas. Also I relined it's barrel. Yet I have an issue with it that makes me uncomfortable , The rifle didn't come with a cartridge stop and it needs one to be reliable- worn as it is. That means I will have to mill a slot inside it and drill and tap a hole thru the side. I hate to do that to my old firearm.
Okay so not much interest in firearms on this forum I also have a very rare modle 1888 Marlin in .32-20 , made for just one year that I rebuilt and a model Marlin 1889 Marlin that I scratch built in .25-20 for competition. In fact when Mom died of Cancer and a month later I was biopsied to prove I have that same cancer , I jumped on finishing the 1889 because I knew that nobody I knew could complete that rifle and it would go into the garbage..The pictures of it are not on this computer.I'd dig out the other computer to show it if anybody cared. It is likely my best work.
Understand as I do that whatever project you do there is somebody that could do it better. The pictures that I or somebody else shares are just for inspiration , just to show what can be done and you can do it too. Have fun.
