Does any company make a drop-in stock set for the Marlin 1895 - either wood or synthetic? If not, who can members recommend for duplicating? I have a nice two-piece stock blank I'd like to consider putting on the 1895 if nothing is after-market ready.

Thanks in advance for input.

John,
I can't believe that no none has answered your request for replacement stocks for an 1895 Marlin.
Try George Peterson from Idaho or Montana. I think it may be called Treebone Carving.

Several laminate sets on gunbroker.

I'm using 320 grit right now on a stock set from George (Treebone Carving). I had a very nice two-piece stock set out of feather crotch black walnut with good grain through the wrist that I had been saving for one of my Parker shotgun projects. After talking with George I decided to have him use my very old stock set. So far, so good. If I don't screw things up it will be awesome.

I bought a set for my Rem #1 RB project 20 years ago.

George is a great guy to deal with. I've never fitted a stock before (done my fair share of wood work but never stock fitting/finishing) but his product and his "how-to" instructions on his website make it possible for duffers like me to end up with a nice product. Patience is the key. Don't dig a hole you can't get out of.

WOW!

Ground the recoil pad today and boy what a pain in the butt that was! Had a Sims Vibration Labs Limbsaver pad so that's what I used. I decided to do the recoil pad myself so I also bought a fixture/jig to hold the pad and get the toe angle right. What a mess that soft rubber makes when being ground! I watched the SVL youtube "how-to" video and saw that I needed to change grit going progressively finer as I neared the line, always keeping the sandpaper/belt buttered up with WD40. What they didn't make clear was just how far and wide the tiny little oily rubber particles go. Dust collection does not work on those little bits so they fly everywhere.

From now on if I ever need another recoil pad installed I'll pay WHATEVER the 'smith wants to install it. Gotta go and wash this goo off. At least no blood was spilled in the process of sanding the pad so that's a plus.
