the Brazilian copies can be a little rough around the edges. It's not an easy job, as Jim related. BUT when completed properly (hopefully by someone else, unless you need a PhD in J.M.B.'s 1892 design Principles) it is very satisfying.

I have sold all my Marlin's except for a 1894 SS in .429 GNR that I plan to keep as an heirloom. I'm thinking about a 336 in .400 GNR for a custom build. Maybe after deer season. 336's with straight stocks are a special delight! We do have a Rossi SS Trapper in .357 that is my Daughter's. I have a Rossi 92 in .45 Colt that was my father's last Christmas gift. The thin barrel did not allow a dovetail front sight as the .357 so they added it to the top of the barrel band. I do NOT like that, and I can't see the sights any more. I need a peep rear and to get Gary to add a ramped pistol style interchangeable front sight sweated to the barrel. Hopefully I'll get to it one day.
