Very Cool Marlin 'Alaskan Co-Pilot'
I was talking to a friend in Talkeetna this morning and asked him about rumors I heard about an 'Alaskan .50 brakdown; I had heard about at the range last week. He referred me to Jim West, at Wild West Guns, In Anchorage. I guess Jim does this conversion all the time. They have a very good website - http://www.wildwestguns.com/CoPilot_And_Guide_Rifles/body_copilot_and_guide_rifles.html.
Apparently, Jim has been converting Marlins to his Co-Pilot takedown conversion for years - matter of fact, his rifles are what convinced Marlin to start building the Guide Gun. I like him already!!!
I think I've just fallen in love again![:X][:X][:X]

Few months back, RKB had a big ol' bear with a Co-Pilot and caught a lotta crap for having to boat around to find a bear to shoot with the rifle (see SOF for pix and the whole story). I liked the Idea of the M1 Garand called Eleanor and the M1a named after Teddy that were making the rounds of the tactical mags awhile back; seemed like too good of an idea to shorten everything on a M14, add a Scout scope/Ghost ring sight set, chamber it in .243 and call it a day! 0 -
Excellent concept. Now, if they could only design something to load the rounds directly into the tube when the barrel is removed. As in a "semi-detachable" magazine, of sorts. Only this time, the barrel would be attached to the loaded mag.
Perhaps impossible, but it seemed like a good idea when I typed this. Joe0 -
Zipper....I can't see the link. Great looking gun! 0 -
That looks sweet! Would that be a legal barrel length though? I wonder if you have to get an SBR stamp for it? 0 -
