Smaller project but it turned out cool.
My biggest hangup with the Henry centerfire levers is the ugly mag tube with the loading opening in it.
This rifle came in for a barrel chop and thread for suppressor use. We decided to go ahead and convert it to a traditional style tube mag instead of cutting down the Henry setup.
I cut the barrel dovetail at 3/8 60⁰ but this could be done on a factory dovetail too.
Since most Marlin parts are hen's teeth right now, I ended up making the tube, cap, and stud. I used a WWG follower and modified it as needed.
