Obvisely a project by a home gunsmith. He wasnt all that bad either.
Re: Beauty or the Beast
that's certainly different.
might be worth the price to put back to normal.
depending on what is under all that "beautiful" wood of course.

Re: Beauty or the Beast
I'm guessing he wanted his marlin to look like his W88? Sort of a matched set? That's the only thing I can come up with.

Re: Beauty or the Beast
...In the eye of the beholder, and stuff, but my eyes behold a beast +1 on putting some proper wood on it, if you could get the rifle for a decent price, but it's already past what I'd give for it.

Re: Beauty or the Beast
It's...interesting....I don't hate it, but I'm not real sure I like it.
Would I do that to a 39 if I owned one? No, not even a new one. Would I buy that one if the price was right and I had the cash? Maybe...

Re: Beauty or the Beast
I love my 39. That stock has some big warts and does not do the action any favors.
A man on a gallopin' horse in the middle of the night would never know the difference.

Re: Beauty or the Beast
Interesting indeed.
I actually PREFER a one-piece stock, due to ease of removal for cleaning debris or moisture from around the magazine tube. Dunno if that would apply to this 'custom' design, though.
I've always thought the little receiver of the 39A looks silly with the big stock in front and back of it, and preferred the 1894 type designed ones (forget the model number).

I clicked on the pictures ready to hate it completely....but, there is a certain charm to it, in a strange and different way!

...now, you see, I would have thought he was selling a Ruger 96/22 Mannlicher, like this one:

They look VERY much alike.
