Revelation 200 (Marlin) (pic)

I know this is not Marlin talk but since you guys are my H&R family, I wanted to share this with you. I posted this in Lever Action.

My 14 year old son finally finished his project gun. We picked up an old Revelation 200 (Marlin 336) in 30-30 a few months ago for 150.00. It was made in 1965, it had surface rust and wood was rough but not chipped.
He stripped the wood, smoothed it out, and refinished it. Removed all the rust, reblued all the metal using Oxpho Blue, installed a 3-9x50mm World Class scope and it is done. The picture does not do it justice. It is beautiful. We will sight the scope in at 100 yards this weekend at the range.

Nice work.  If he did most of the work it will be a rifle he'll remember all his life.

Congrats!  Hope is shoots as good as it looks.

Nice job only thing that rifle sure would be sweet with a vintage Weaver K4.
