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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
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
...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!!!
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
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.
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
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
@@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.
The one I just got from Boyds for a 336 was horrible. The fit on the butt was not even close. It appeared to be incomplete it was so bad. I hate to rip on companies but this was real bad and I had to get the gun back to a customer after a cerakote finish so I had to sand and shape it correctly myself. That obviously included having to strip the finish and start over. Absolute garbage workmanship.
Nice! Sounds like Boyds front grip is more like the Winchester. I never cared for the clubby thick wood that Marlin provides.

Looks good. The recoil pad makes sense. The scope is perfect. Great looking rig.

Great video! Now, I "need" a new stock set for my 1895. 😁
Love it! When that hot brass hits snow it’s harder to find, 😅
Ha! Yes, my fingers got cold, combing through the snow to find the brass. :)
Always wanted to restock my deer rifle but was afraid of the inletting, maybe another video of a deer rifle restock !

I'd rather do a little fitting than have to look at ugly gaps forever.

Damn guy. Now you done it, LOL. Going to have to spend more money to pretty up my Marlin. Actually, got some great tips from the video. Thanks.
Love the look of that wood.
Thanks Guy/Gavin.
Good Video Guy! Looks good. If you remember I almost went this route for my 454 Rossi But ended up with there Lam set. Love it!
Laminate makes a LOT of sense for a hard use rifle.

You can also get longer LOP stocks from Boyds.

Time to get my 39a fixed up with new wood.

I only see a plastic butt plate option on Boyd’s. How do you upgrade to the decelerator?

Is that the standard boyds finishing or the high gloss 90deg option?
If you guys happen to order another boyds I'd love to see an inletting video
The Boyds stocks for our bolt actions have been "drop in" ready. This one required some work. Not a lot, but some.
Do they make them for a marlin lever action 35 Remington.
Look at their site for Marlin 336. Should be available.
Went to thier site the othef day to order a walnut stock for my 1894 and they only sell the fordnd. What kind of crap is that.
Hmm. Their site can be a little confusing. I suspect that they do sell both the buttstock and the forend. I'll do some checking.
Ah, after some investigation, it seems that the 1894 and the 1895 take the same buttstocks. I wondered about that.
@@guyminer3168 i was thinking the same thing but havent had the time to look. Appreciate you lookin into it.

Beautiful. U and I have alot in commen when it comes to 45 70
It's a great old cartridge and the Marlin 1895 is terrific.

They don’t match
