Ultimate Lever Action Mod?

[hessikin]

Howdy!

 

Firstly, there are some fantastic lever action mods out there; Lever Action Customization, Right Handed Lever Gun, Reload Fix, Tube Extension - to name a few. As a real life lever gun enthusiast (Marlin 1894 & Mod 336), I'd love to see a cohesive, all in one package with all of the above and more. A few features I'd like to see;

 

• Right Hand Animation Fix - Every single lever action rifle has the loading gate on the right. This is how the model in game should be.
• Extended Tube Capacity - Makes no sense that adding the long barrel doesn't increase the weapon's capacity.
• Reload Fix - Bethesda half-assed the reload animations, so no matter how many rounds you fire, you are always reloading five.
• Caliber Conversions - .45-70 is great, but I'd also like to see .38 and .44 Mag conversions. Others wouldn't really make sense because lever action rifles can only generally fire flat nose cartridges.
• Stock Material - Options to have polymer, walnut, oak, painted walnut, etc would be fantastic. Having one stock option is boring.
• Rifle Finish - Again, one option is boring, it would be nice to be able to choose between Stainless and Blued (or even anodized).
• Iron Sight Options - Continuing in the theme of the last two, there should be a variety of irons for the rifle - XS Sights, Skinner (Winged and Exposed), and maybe even a hooded stock sight option.

And that's it! I'd like to see a well done, cohesive mod for one of the game's under-appreciated and under-utilized rifles. I would do it myself, but my modding ability ends at re-textures and the last one I did was in New Vegas.
