Well, I'm in the process of going through a 1975, Glenfield Marlin that I picked up really cheap. Last night, I recrowned the muzzle, and tomorrow I am going to start refinishing the stock. Today, I am going to take the barrel and receiver to work with me and reblue the muzzle and paint the receiver to make it look new again. Then I'm going to glass bed the stock and she oughta be a semi-auto tack driver! Yeeeehaaaa. I'll be letting ya'll know how she shoots in a couple weeks.
