Gents,
Given what's happened with lever gun prices over the last year or so, this might be a fool's errand... but I'm slowly starting to look for a 30-30 that will get cut down for a child to use. Preference is a 336 but open to other brands/models, including single shots. Needs to be drilled/tapped. Not looking for safe queens, expensive rifles, or other chamberings. Please shoot me a PM if you've got something to chat about.
Thanks y'all.

Marlin made a 336 youth ( someone here should know what it's actually called, I can't remember). I believe it only came in 30-30. I've seen two for sale at a local gun shop in the last year. One was 350 and the other was 400. No cutting involved. Im pretty sure they were all D/T.

Can't you put on a thick "Slip-on" butt pad for a season or two. I'd hate to cut down a stock on a rifle that is getting harder and harder to find?
Check Midway USA. they list several that might work.

Check Midway USA. they list several that might work. A slip-on pad would increase the LOP. I need to drastically reduce factory LOP.

I wonder if a Boyds rear stock replacement can be custom ordered for length.
