thought id dress up my 336. it has a split in the butt stock that looks like someone used it to give a butt stroke. split about 2 inches up from toe and straight forward. when I bought it the piece was being held on with electricians tape. got it at local pawn shop for 125.00. fixed the split/gorilla glued it, then sold it. got it back in a trade so now I think I will keep it and dress it up. will post pics as project progresses

FB2, got a octagonal barrel for a 336 laying around? I think that would dress it up more.

Quite a stock for a levergun. Vaguely reminiscent of the one on a Klingon Disruptor, long range model.

phasers on full, mister Spock.lol this stock pre dates even gene Roddenberry by about 80 yrs, this was a style in the 1880's thru 1910ish. am wiggleing with anticipation for the arrival this week. you have started me thinking in a whole different direction. maybe something retrofuturistic? if there is such a thing a lever action space gun?

http://s1350.photobucket.com/user/deerstalkert/library/336%20marlin%20projectstarting to get close to fit to metal. I used to be able to do it from a blank but with ms now I need initial inletting done. midway didn't include the buttplate like they said, so its on back order. lets me take my time.

think it will look ok. original stock was broken so anything is better. not sure I like the butt on the pistol grip contour. what say you all?

Good so far, I'll be interested in how the buttplate looks. I think it will all come together true when you shoulder the thing, if it feels right it'll look right.

I'd round that pistol grip knob.
I think she'd work mo'better with open sights, looking at the stock.

well I think I'm past that option right now. just put the first coat of tru-oil on. can always do it later if I don't like the way it works. thanks for the suggestion though. I have another stock just like this one that I can try that style on. will post pics as soon as I get the tru-oil off my hands.

very little really. precisiongunworks.com does a fine job. they leave the wood about a 16th proud also so its just sanding to finish except at the tang ends. there I had to reduce the wood quite a bit on the bottom but not so much on top. the hardest part of fitting is drilling the tang screw hole straight enough to engage the bottom hole. started small and it worked. now to drill and mount the butt plate. after that i'll make a forearm for it to match. haven't decided if I'm going to checker it or not. body is failing me and checkering needs top of your game.

Well I like it. Might need to give it a whirl, especially since I hunt with open and aperture sights, that stock would work well.

works great! www.precisiongunstocks.comsteelhead if you do get this stock, be advised it is not bench rest friendly. can't get it seated right on my shoulder when on bags. it hurts!!!!!! going to be a snap shot rifle. works good that way.

Ah, the 99 and the Winchester automatic mark you as one with a classically trained palate. The butt plate looks very fine, Ruger had a similar eye to pick it for his carbines.

Looking good deerstalker. BTW, I was able to assemble the bolt you sent me (with the new short action parts) last evening and it goes in the gun. Shortened the long spring, replaced the firing pin and bolt body. Now to a gunsmith for final checking. Thank you!

stupid me, i should have sent you the gauges with it. have go-no go-and field. hope it turns out . if ever you find some one that needs an old style barrel in 06 let me know. I think its 22 inch with boss for sight. light weight.
I guess I need to o back to bed. the gauges wouldn't do you any good with the 243. ms. sucks

I talked myself into checkering the stock. going to put a classic 1894 pattern on it.

I like what you did to remove some of the dish from the butt plate, I'm of the opinion (yes, everyone has those too) that you should have retained the "S" grip knob. But then, you would have needed a square back lever modification. Where does it end? Best wishes,
Jack

steelhead, yes pgw sells the buttplates. but, if you watch ebay you can get one cheaper. they take some grinding and polishing plus drilling though. pgw sells theirs ready to blue/color. I kinda went plum on this one.

be sure to post pics. my MS has me so slowed down but I still love doing these projects. by the way steelhead I have an extra butt plate if you decide to go with it. let it go for cost.
