I got the nutmeg laminate stocks for my 1963 MARLIN 336 C. I chose the laminate because I think it's more resistant to humidity changes. It's beautiful and went on in minutes with no fitting required and no gaps. It literally fits like a glove and the butt stock slid on with a tap of my hand and no wiggle, Fore stock doesn't contact the barrel anywhere either. I'm very pleased!
That’s beautiful. I’ve always felt the forends on the Marlin lever guns were just too fat. I have a couple. Darn it, now you got me to thinking. Great video sir.
Thanks for the video sir. The wood looks well machined and finished. The Decelerator is the standard recoil pad I like to put on when I'm doing stock work too as it looks nice, lasts well and reduces felt recoil. All the best.
Whew! She's a nice looking rig now. Actually have a .45-70 with a replacement "Boyd's" stock from the 1950s. Boyd's...previously Fajen...and all the way back to Bishop's.
No joke, we had to do some inletting on the wood. I think some of that might be due to the Marlin 1895 having been produced by Marlin, Remington, and now Ruger... There just might be some differences.
After them being made for so many years and manufacturers there has to be differences, but my butt stock went on with a tap of my hand and no gaps either and the fore stock didn't touch the barrel either.
@@guyminer3168 I have to admit, that I caved to $$. Being mine was Stainless to me, lam made more sense. Plus as you say, this is more a tool then a classic. I was leary of "std" grade so looked at better grades and costs jumped up pretty quickly.
...I dd the same about a year ago I have an original 18795 Guile Gun...I'd wanted a larger lever for it but Ranger Point never ha large loop strait levers in stock - only pistol grip types...so I ordered one and went to Boyds and ordered the base model pistol grip buttstock - when I got it it didn't match the factory forestock - I planed on returning ity but forgot about it for a good 6 months - when I finally called them this past summer I explained the situation and asked if I could return it for a credit against the new one I wanted to order - an increase of (IIRC) about 80 bux...the lady was very nice - and even though I was well beyond the allowable time limit for a return/refund, she let me make the exchange/buy......the rifle looks sharp as Hades now...had the lever wrapped with red/white/blue paracord...yeah, Man...Boyds has some really good stuff!!!
The pistol grip seems thick. I'd like it to be lil thinner there also , like the forend is. Diggin that forend. I'm thinkin on 1 of my 95s id like a straight grip xx or xxx grade walnut. Looks real good on your rifle. Thanks
That's a nice color stain on the Boyd's stock. I know the checkering provides a lot of grip but I'm a huge fan of the plain pistol grip stock like on the older Marlin 30-30's. My Marlin JM 1894 doesn't have the best color to it either.
That’s great looking stock set , I prefer a wider front stock my self especially for hard kicking calibers , i have a 80’s 336 model in 35 Remington that needs a Boyd’s upgrade Thanks
I am going to get myself a Eric cortina Micro HS FL Sizing Die for my 6.5 PRC and I have measured some brass from some factory fired Hornady ammo I have shot and I get about 0.532 for the.200 line and I am going to use some Peterson 6.5 PRC brass once I’m ready to start loading for it and I wanted to ask for your opinion on the right die either a 0.532 or a 0.535 chamber diameter if I get and use the new Peterson brass
It's got a weird lump on top of the pistol grip that you were concious to hide with a hand, is there a reason for that or just a machining or sanding anomaly? Boyd's are admittedly very competitive in price point
Thank you for the awesome video brother I am currently in SDI I'm going to be a gunsmith and all this stuff from stock finishing and bluing rifle barrels Is awesome to me.
@@jonleone777 - there have been enough variations over the years, I dunno if I'd expect a 100% fit. Have to figure that in the last few years these were made by Marlin, Remington, and now Ruger... I suspect that they're not all identical.
