The 16 might be a better choice with that octagon barrel. Mic might take a while to get your rifle done , but I have shot & handled several of his lever guns top notch work.
Another source is Jim West of Wild West Guns. He recently opened a second store, this one, in Las Vegas. No need to send it all the way to Anchorage.
