BrentD, Prof Sidelock Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 6,715 Likes: 415 Iowa	Originally Posted by gunmaker I decided to give myself 3-4hrs this week after work to do a project for myself. The gun in particular was handed down through the family, not a high end piece compared to most of the stuff I do, but she see’s good use deer hunting on my property. I’ve always been enamored by Joel Dorleacs stock shaping and style, a combination of traditional with an aggressive flair. Looking at antique Marlin Deluxe lever guns, I believe in inspiration from such. Specifically the line from the toe that runs up into the wrist and terminates on top of the wrist. I’m actually shaping up a .375 customer gun that is close, but still not as aggressive. So finally, on my own piece, I pushed my comfort zone from the subdued. I took the “deluxe” lines and pushed those boundaries. I’ll plan to use this factory stock I’ve shaped and have it duplicated into a much nicer piece of wood, so I’m not going to bother with a fine oil finish or checkering. Maybe consider adding a cheakpiece before doing so. I’ve slimmed the forend a lot and plan to do an 1885 forend cap instead of the 336 forend band. Considering reducing mag tube length as well, engraving, and CCH. The rather pudgy Marlin 336 stock followed by my shaped factory stock. https://i.imgur.com/uBzzC6j.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sNMwGdu.jpg Nice! That's a dramatic improvement. Fat stocks are the bane of many production guns. The 1950s version of the M39-A was another. They were/are marvelous guns with great accuracy and reliability. For my money, the best repeating .22 rf ever built. .22 Lever gun matches tend to look like Marlin 39A family reunions. But they could lose some excess lumber. The butt isn't so bad and even nice to have a .22 with a meaty grip and some heft, but the fore end was atrocious. It was my first plunge into modifying guns to suit my tastes. I too about a pound of wood off, but could have taken another half. _________ BrentD, (Professor - just for Stan)

A 26" half octagon barrel, half magazine, pistol gripped, checkered, presentation grade wood, and special sights in all 3 locations. I'm pretty stuck on Marlin Ballards and Remington single shots, and he wants to get into collector firearms.

I had every cartridge version made of the 1881, a total of a dozen of them with different variations of rifles, carbines, and even a couple schuetzen version 1881's. I think I had close to 2 dozen 1893's, and about the same of 1894's. Lots of 1891's (including a 1st year side loader) and 1892's. Plus a few Model 410 shotguns, and 1888's, 1889's, 1895's, etc. It really got out of control with my obsession to have all sorts of variations, cartridges, barrel lengths, and really oddball special orders. I still have my very first Marlin; an 1893 takedown in .25-36 with factory installed and serial numbered Whitney Kennedy trapdoor buttplate. One I sold to a friend, and he willed it back to me when he passed. Last edited by Vall; 12/06/23 08:54 PM.

There are extensive photos in my Custom Rifle in black and white book. This Model 94, .44-40 was completed for a client about a decade ago. It was originally a straight grip rifle. Both rifles have custom English walnut stocks, were rebarreled with custom magazines and other modifications. Michael Dubber engraved and gold inlayed each. Last edited by SDH-MT; 12/23/23 03:43 AM.
