Hey guys, Brian here with Wolf's Prairie Outdoors. Today we're going to be installing the midwest industries Inlock handguard for the Marlin 1894. It fits all Marlin rifles But with the smaller calibers you have to use a small spacer, which is basically two small washers You put it on either side of where the barrel clamp was. So let's get started first off make sure your gun is unloaded You can see I got a chamber flag in here. I'm gonna remove that Nothing in the gun go ahead and drop my hammer. Okay, so I'm gonna use This tip-to-gun vice a little bit different than it's meant, but it'll get the job done Put a little bean bag on the back. Give me a little extra weight when be working out here So I need it as far forward as I can get and be able to access the handguard for this installation All we got to do is remove these two screws for the end cap and then remove the magazine to Follow or pull the magazine to loose so we can pull all this off here and then reassemble without so without further ado I am going to pop these two screws out for the end cap Very small screws. You don't want to lose them like I almost did make sure you have a tray handy so that you can Keep up with them Sorry you guys can't see this side, but it is just a screw Okay, now this is all loose What I have to do is remove this end cap and spring and This is under tension. It shouldn't come out right now, but when I lift up on the magazine tube It will go flying if I don't keep pressure on it. So Be ready when you lift Okay And Here it comes And there's my pretty follower from Ranger Point precision Already pull that end cap off. I don't need it anymore Pull magazine to loose pull the handguard off I'm going to go ahead put my follower back in the port then I'm going to run my magazine spring down the tube Get it lined up with the opening on the follower and Commence to sliding this magazine spring back down The tube this is always the fun part because it gets a lot of pressure built up on it and It's very easy for it to go flying as you're attempting to do this for the last little bit get your End cap and make sure you have it oriented with the big hole down So that it will line up with that stud at the top of the barrel or the bottom of the barrel and Then reinstall your end cap screw for the magazine tube Okay Now comes the fun part we are going to install this rail and if you had a 4570 you would just simply install it like that right there, but we don't have a 4570 So I have two small washers That have to be installed on either side of this mounting block for the handguard and that can be very difficult to get lined up So I'm going to use a piece of tape to hold this on there and I will remove this tape once I've started the installation This would just hold everything in place for me a lot easier than Then Not having it It may look a little goofy, but it will get the job done I don't want to put it wrapping under the underside because then I can't access the tape with it on top. I can access it so Slide that bad boy Down on there Slide everything into place Make sure it is lined up properly And it is Okay, since I've got to install this lock tight I'm going to use a towel just to make sure a paper towel just to make sure I don't get it all over everything So I'm just going to snip just the very corner off of this and Move that stuff runs Okay You want to apply just a drop of this stuff These threads Okay And now Get the proper Allen wrench for it Hey supply three for the different screws you've got okay, I've got my Allen wrench and I'm going to start with this screw because I can see it easier Having that washer already inserted really helps with this process Because there's no question. It's where I need it to be apply a second drop of vibratite to the other screw Now This one might be a little more difficult And And there we go now I'm going to pull this tape out There we go Before I get these screws tight, I want to put my rear tensioning screw in We'll put just a drop of lock tight on that or vibratite and Man it went everywhere when you put this screw in you want to Pull the handguard to its downward most position, which is uppermost When the gun is upside down as it is right now So Slowly start this you don't want to cross thread it and you do not want to Tighten this against the barrel you just want it to be snug to help keep tension You can look through these holes on the handguard to see where your screw is at And when you feel tension that's where you stop Okay, I'm going to go back to tightening these up I Don't have my torque wrench handy We're in the process of building a homestead and a lot of things are packed away so I'm going to Just make it nice and tight you don't want to strip it out it is aluminum that you're tightening into so Just make it good and snug And that bad boy is on there All right guys, that's all there is to it very quick and easy install one thing I failed to mention is the geometry stays the same You can see the handguards the same length here to the sling point But nice thing is you have an added few inches off the end pass the sling mounting point Just gives you a little more to grip if you need to and I really like the look of this It gives you a lot more protection and coverage over the barrel additionally if the barrel is getting extremely hot Because you're doing a lot of shooting this is going to dissipate the heat a lot better than that wooden handguard is and I just I love the way this looks. It's a really nice sleek Finish Midwest industries at a phenomenal job building this thing and now I'm already thinking about putting one on my 4570 I really like to look at this and Just the feel it feels lighter on this and I don't know if it isn't not but it feels that way Really happy with it. I know a lot of guys aren't very fond of the M lock hand rails But it is a tool in this application for us because we're building a homestead and we're out in the country So I'm gonna mount a light on the end of this and we've got hogs in the area We've got coyotes in the area. There's a black bear in the area and this is something that I or my wife can run with ease it's a great tool to have accessible because at night we can take care of whatever needs to be handled and This doesn't intimidate my wife like an AR does there's far few moving parts and It's it's gonna do the job and things can do it really well especially with all these upgrades Hope you guys enjoyed this series so far check your description below You'll see links to all the videos in the series and if you like what you see give us a big thumbs up Hit that subscribe button and let us know you like what we're producing and you want us to produce more of it And that's about it guys have a good one
