Here is what the Marlin 1894 project gun looked like when I brought it home. Receiver, buttstock, hammer, carrier, lever, trigger, barrel and a few other small parts. Major parts missing were the bolt, loading gate, most screws (screws that were in it were wrong) magazine tool, spring follower, band, forend and cap. Some parts I had, some parts I bought, and a few I just made. Lots of work to get it complete and actually working. Worth the effort and cost? No. But it's the journey that made it worth it.
