Lever gun lovers . . . my new takedown
Just before the 2018 hunting season I had a hankering for a short barreled .30-30 lever gun so I bought a new Marlin 336Y in .30-30 with a 16 1/4 inch barrel. After adding a factory large loop and installing a safety delete kit it's been a handy gun to have around the deer camp and I've taken a couple of whitetail deer with it.
Following this most recent hunting season I got a wild hair about wanting to convert my little Marlin .30-30 into a takedown. I did some internet research and found that Lee Hadaway, owner of The Arms Room in Trinidad, Colorado, specialized in converting lever guns to takedowns and Marlin's in particular. I reached out to Lee and after we talked I decided to ship it to him with instructions on what I wanted done.
After just over four months he contacted me and said the rifle was on it's way back to Arkansas. The brown truck delivered it today and I gotta say I am quite pleased with the work that Lee did to the rifle which included the takedown conversion, refinish the rifle, action job, and sighting in.
He also provided a custom leather case that a saddle maker friend of his makes for Lee's takedown rifles. It has three compartments; two padded compartments for the two sections of the rifle and a middle compartment for ammo and other gear.
While I was waiting on the work to be done on my rifle, I had Buffalo Brand Leather make a custom stock sleeve for it as well.
