If you love shooting the Marlin 1894 now, wait until you shoot one with a suppressor. One of those was likely the first factory rifle that I had threaded.
I have not modified anything that was a collector gun, but we have had a dozen or more threaded and don't regret any of them, including a couple of Montana rifles, a Kimber, one that was barreled by Jarrett, and several Tikka builds.
