In this compilation, McPherson covers every aspect of getting the most out of traditional lever-action guns, through modification, improvement, handloading, and shooting techniques. He chronicles his custom modifications of Marlin 1894 and 336-based guns, while building everything from a 17-caliber, quarter-MOA varmint rifle, based upon the 1894 Marlin action, to the mighty 510 Kodiak express, which generates 5000 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, based upon the modern 1895 Marlin action. He specialized in lightweight carbines, known by friends and customers alike as, "Peggy rifles," in honor of the custom rifle he built for his late wife These collected works span three decades of gunsmithing, and document his perfection of the Marlin lever-action rifle. This book was last revised June 2020, with added text and pictures, explaining some of his more complicated modifications. For completeness, he includes articles on: a custom 35 Whelen Ackley Improved, Remington Pump; a custom 221 Fireball, 788 Remington; and, a photographic journal of the rifle he and a friend built to launch bullets faster than one-mile per second.
