[Photoshop Mike]

Cool!! Thanks man! Deff was!
good looking out.. its very very close.. I believe the metal is black on the prop.. do you think that has been customized or is it a slightly different version?

[Photoshop Mike]

If you notice the trigger guards ( the one I need is standard.. the online replica is LARGER) and metal color.. its pretty close ( thanks again so much) if you ever see another.. please contact me :) much appreciated!!

The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.

LOL.. $1295.00 yikes :)

the "dark" barrel is called "blueing" a lot of gun shops can do that.

[Photoshop Mike]

AWESOME.. I was just gonna ask that. Thanks so much! Ok.. I think Im good so long as I can get the replacement triggar guard :)

...except you can't blue stainless steel. Blueing is actually a chemically controlled oxidization of the metal. And stainless don't cooperate with it.

[Photoshop Mike]

ohh, ok.. besides taking the entire gun apart.. sand spray painting the metal parts.. is there another option?

I'm not sure. I believe stainless steel is stainless to the core, and it may not take paint too well. But I am decidedly not a metallurgist. Is this for some sort of dramatic production where you wouldn't be allowed to use a real gun?

The Marlin 336 is a very common gun that is manufactured to this day:

While the lever on the 336 is simpler than that on the gun you are looking for, the rest of the gun is fairly similar. Maybe it would be easier to find a replica of the 336? You could get get a real version of the blued model for 300-400 bucks and chop it down like the one in your picture. I bought my 336 specifically for the coming zombie apocalypse; it is definitely a zombie gun.

Interesting. Nice find.

Interesting. Nice find.

LOL.

First thing that came up when i searched "Can you blue stainless steel"

I couldnt read the site as its blocked for "guns" at my work but i could read a short synopsis from the google search....so i didnt know if it was good or not.

But it seems that it was.....good thing or else i woulda looked like a major ass. :thumbup:

[Chigworthy]

Yeah, I remember reading about this before but had completely forgotten. I think I actually read that thread in 2006 when it was posted. The process is not blueing, but the end result should do for Mike's needs.

[Photoshop Mike]

Ok.. so I bought the replica... one last quick question.. you guys have been a HUGE help.. Im stumped :(

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q173/PHOTOSHOPMIKE/whatIneed.jpg

I need a place where I can order the LEVER.. any help would be AWESOME!!

[FrogSlayer]

You should find a machine shop locally, It should be pretty easy to make.
Cut off the carabiner shaped piece, bend a new piece to shape, weld on.

It is steel yes?

[Photoshop Mike]

I guess.. But Im sure if someone had a Winchester .40 - 40 and they needed a replacement part.. there would be a way to order one.. Im just not " in that world" im sure someone out there knows of a shop.. website etc :)
