Thanks Gentlemen.I'll see if I can implement this in the short term. I'm anxiously awaiting my 30 cal barrel from SeanMP and not sure what the barrel port will actually be, I'm trying to get everything else ready.I think a better long term solution for the marauder might be to make a new breech, move the loading port forward and use a thru bolt design, thus eliminating the barrel port. This would also allow for correcting the poi shift - breech flexing problem as well. If it was a side level it would allow a larger range of hammer springs. With a little careful design it would allow for future larger calibers. Anybody interested in working on a design and sharing a small production run? (I saw LLoyd-ss has already made a very cool marauder side lever).
