Mojo Rising Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I need someone to slick up and short stoke my wife’s Marlin 357/38 rifle. Can anyone recommend someone that mightn be at Winter Range that can work on it there or I can send to them and pickup at Winter Range? Thanks Mojo Rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 in a short word, most likely, no,, very very few short stroke Marlins, and those that do have a backlog,, and then it only shortens it less than an inch, I would suggest if it's not already slick as snot, you may be able to get that done by then, maybe. good luck tho,,, if you know someone with a SS Marlin,,, have her run it against hers,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick McClade Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The only person I could recommend is Cowboy Carty and last we spoke he had an extensive backlog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Junky Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If you want one fast you just about have to find a used one. Put a WTB in the classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostVaquero Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Find a 32 h& r marlin. They already have a shorter stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 There is only one smith who is actually turning out functioning short stroked Marlins that run at speed and that is Cowboy Carty, it's not a kit and takes hours to do. His backlog is over 2 years and I"m not sure but I don't believe he is taking any new work currently. Slick McClade is selling a spring kit currently by Carty that does wonders for a stock gun when combined with a one piece pin, lever wrap and new sights all of which you can get from Slick at Winter Range.

Mojo Rising Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. This is just a backup for the wife, in case hers throws a shoe at Winter Range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
