I’ve got this marlin 336 in 30-30 I inherited from a family member. Not long after acquiring it the stock split (last 2 pictures) and I ended up ordering a new stock from marlin but it doesn’t quite fit right. I looked up the serial number and it looks like the gun was manufactured in 1949 (F stamp) so it makes sense that designs/tolerances would change in ~70 years. I’m assuming custom furniture would be the best route for this, I just have no idea where to start looking for something like that. Also iron sight recommendations would be appreciated as well. The old weaver scope is fine but I would prefer a decent set of irons.

This was my first real rifle - purchased in 1996. I recently added:

Ashley Performance Mount
Leupold Medium Dovetail Rings
Burris Fullfield 2-8x35 mm

This mount requires dual dovetail rings which don’t seem to be easily available. It’s currently mounted just for mock up with a set of standard rings. The dual dovetails should arrive tomorrow, and I will torque it down and set it up permanently.

The eye relief is just about dead on for me and I love the aesthetics.

Besides the “Cool Factor” what is the practical purpose of a Mare’s Leg lever gun?

Maybe it’s just my training but on normal rifles and handguns that I want to hit the target on the first shot, but it seems like that would be a challenge with one of these. Too gangly to be used as a pistol and you can’t steady it to use as a rifle.

If it fits you for your purpose, you do you, I’m never gonna a judge someone for their weapon of choice, but I’m just trying to figure out why they are popular. Not to insult, just curious.

Just got a Marlin 45-70 this past weekend and I'm loving it so far.

Not many of these around. 30-30 Win.
The handguard I drew up myself in CAD and sent it to get printed in aluminium as no aftermarket exists.
Leupold VX-3HD glass.
Skinner barrel mount peep sight.

44 mag set

Should've done less defined green lines, but oh well. It will wear in.

So you think you're a Space Cowboy? Well you thought so, until somebody pulls this abomination out connected to their Henry Big Boy. I'd just pick up my lever and go home. They win.
