Robert,
Here’s a screen shot of the computer solid model of the adapter part as well as a rendering of the final assembly for the Cowboy Assault Rifle Project Gun. I came in today and ran a 3D prototype on our SLA machine to verify fit on the barrel and mag tube. I need to make a few adjustments to the model to mate up with the contour of the stock foregrip as you can see in the close-ups of the proto. We should be machining the final by the end of the week. Hope you enjoy. [Prototype after the jump.]

Oh man. That looks mega cool.
Fantastic.
I love the way it doesn’t ruin the line. I’ll take one for my .45-70, please.
“Cowboy Assault Rifle”
Gasp! There’s that word again. lol
I think it should probably be Modern Cowboy-Style Replica Modern Sporting Rifle. Or something.
Modern Cowboy Action Rifle with lever thingy that goes up… and down, and up and down, and up and down…. well, you get the idea.
Sir, you have officially made my day not suck. I tip my hat to you.
That looks sweet! I’m using the info from this forum to possibly make some mods to a NIB Marlin 336 BL I picked up for 450.00.
As cool as this is….I just don’t see it selling well at all for Crimson Trace.
Might pick one up when they are liquidating them at CDNN or Graf & Sons
would be good to use for the deer on my Marlin 1894C
This laser is being mounted to an 1894c. More reports and mods to come!
When might these be available?

Looks like a winner! Could use one on my Marlins .450 and .44 mag!
Makes the 1894 into the definitive home protection rifle
That is so much awesome.

So I notice you loose the sling mount now?
OMG…you must bring this thing to market immediately. Even better if you minimize the branding and “technical” lines to fit the lines of traditional lever action design aesthetics. I think you’d sell the everloving crap out of these if lever gun enthusiasts like myself felt like we could put one on without adding a strange “tactical” accessory onto the front of a tooled leather strap and buttcuff clad traditional cowboy tool. Even if you don’t, you’ll still have success with the tactical cowboy gun community who paint wood black and whatnot, but make it discreet and you’ve got a sure market winner.

I’m currently considering a Rossi Ranch Hand. The 1st thing I thought of was how a Laser sight would help make it a more viable option in HD or in the woods boar hunting.
it this project still under consideration? I would be happy to conduct a field test on a Prototype for the Rossi Ranch hand.
