Marlin 1894 .41 Magnum from pistol grip stock to straight stock conversion.
Sometime ago someone here asked about Marlin 1894 pistol grip stock to straight stock conversion. I have done it on my Marlin 1894PG .41 Magnum some time ago and just now remembered that I meant to post result of it.
If you plan to do PG to SG, or SG to PG stock conversion, you will need trigger guard plate, finger lever and butt stock. Depending on whether or not you want to reuse some of the small parts, you may also need finger lever plunger, pin, spring and finger lever screw, tang screw, hammer screw, trigger guard plate screw and support screw. I also used it as an opportunity to swap the factory springs for Wolff springs. I kept my PG finger lever intact and assembled SG finger lever from parts. My SG stock came from new .45-70 1895 Marlin, so color is lighter then my forend and recoil pad is different then what normally come on 1894, but I got really good deal off eBay and I am fine with it. The conversion does not alter anything on the rifle and it can be easily reversed, as long as you keep the parts. Also, I am not selling any of the parts, so don't ask. I found all the parts on eBay, Midway, Midwest Gun Works and Brownells. Brownells has interactive schematic that also shows Marlin factory part numbers. Some parts are unique to the model, some, like the butt stock, interchange between models. All in all, it is an easy conversion and with luck, parts will match. |

I’m not really biased toward the PG or straight style, but I am super jealous you have a .41 levergun!

I bought a 1894 in 44 Mag when they first came out it came SG, my other two PG one in 30-30 and one in 45-70;PG just seemed right for them but my old 1894 SG is right.

At one time I thought I wanted to do this to my FG before I bought one... and then I held it.
And, at first venturing into the ree-vol-ver lee-ver car-been realm I thought only straight stocks looked right... then because of the pending acquisition of the FG I looked into how far back the "palm swell" stocks went. They go as far back as the straight stocks... so I was satisfied... and, and then I mounted it. Love my .41! That said! I think you've performed a first-class conversion, there, sir! and I'm equally impressed that you found wood so similarly-figured. Well done.
