Change in Procedure
In years past I would accept all projects into the shop once a scope of work and price were established.
Starting January 1, 2026, I will begin discussing new projects with prospective customers. Once we settle on the scope of work and price, I will require a 50 percent deposit, payable via cash, personal check, certified check, wire transfer, etc. I will not accept credit cards for the deposits. I would also ask that the rifle NOT be shipped until I contact you and request it. If I am sent packages I am not expecting, I will simply refuse them. This will benefit both of us. I will not be required to have insurance coverage on literally hundreds of customer rifles, and you will be able to enjoy your toys in the meantime!
Once I request that the rifle be sent in for work, I will ask for the balance of the agreed upon price to included as well. This will keep me from chasing money once the project is completed. Remember, I am a one man shop. The only thing I have to sell is my time and expertise.
At the completion of the project, if there is a small amount due to Grizzly, or to be refunded to the customer, we can work that out quickly with a credit card if need be.
If you are interested in having this package built on your Marlin, please call the shop or send me a note from the contact form below. Unfortunately, there is no way to simply click & buy, sorry. That is the whole one man shop thing again!
Thank you for your understanding.
Testimonials
Lew,
Just a quick follow-up to let you know how pleased I am with the 1895. Spent the day out on my property with it working from initially 50 yds., then 100 yds. and ultimately out to 200 yds.
Ran three different rounds thru each stage:
- Federal 300 gr. Trophy Bonded “Bear Claw”
- Hornady 325 gr. Lever Evolution FTX
- Underwood 430 gr. Hard Cast
For occasional target and plinking the XXXXXX worked fine. Gave me consistent groups at all three distances. The XXXXXX was a bit more accurate and would be my first choice as a hunting round for local deer and elk. The XXXXXX was, well interesting, to say the least. Other than as a bear or moose load I don’t think I’ll be shooting much of that stuff!
Your scope setup was pretty spot on and other than a bit of tweaking for my preferred hold-over and adjusting for the elevation of my property (over 3,600’) not much was needed. Thank you!
The fit, finish and ergonomics of the rifle were better than I had anticipated and shouldering it just felt “right” if that makes any sense.
I should have a photo or two up on Instagram tomorrow.
Great job and I’m honored to own this one.

Hi Lew,
Thank you for the work you did on my Marlin 39A. The transformation from a lever action .22LR that I shot as a child into a packable and handy little .22LR just cannot be understated. The fit an finish from the recoil pad to the Grizzly Custom stamped tubular magazine is better than any custom rifle on the market today. The finish is sharp and consistent and the radius cuts on the upper receiver are first class .
I was able to get out to the range with the rifle this last weekend and it shoots perfectly. The Leupold Scout scope was right on target at 50 yards as received from you. After firing a magazine’s worth of .22LR with the Leupold, I simply twisted the Talley throw levers and was able to get right on target with the new iron sights. They too were right on at 50 yards. This again is a testament to your attention to detail and thorough craftsmanship.
As we discussed on the phone after I initially received the rifle back, my only real concern is which of my boys I’ll have to bribe to get some trigger time of my own on it.
Your workmanship, professionalism and attention to the smallest detail say volumes about your character and you can be sure that you have a customer for life. I’ll proudly display your rifle and be sending customers to your website when I run into folks out in the BLM land around here or at the local range. I hope to be able to send you a 30-30 in the future for a similar transformation.
I hope all is well for you and yours and wish you the best for the rest of the year and into 2016.
Take care,
