Stock set for Marlin 1895

[Juliet Hotel]

Do any members know of a company that provides drop-in-ready stock sets for the Marlin 1895 - either wood or synthetic?

If not, can anyone recommend a stock duplication company? I have a nice two-piece stock blank I've been hoarding for a long time and would like to see it made up for the 1895.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Boyd's is not drop in, they require very little to make it fit. The grey and blue are both Boyd's.

javi, how much time/effort was required to fit those Boyd's stocks? Also, did you have them finish the stocks or did you do it yourself? Nice work!

Very little work on the forearm and had to open up the buttstock a little on one. They were both ordered finished. Boyd's offers lots of colors and options. The forearm is also slimmer than what Marlin puts on them and it feels better in my hands.

Is this an old 1895 or the modern version? I think the modern one is an 1894 frame, so It may not fit so well on an older version.
I've purchased a couple from this company, and had great results, with minor fitting. http://www.gunstocksinc.com/web_page...le-stocks.html

This is a modern one. It's actually a Wild West Guns Co-pilot. But it's built on a new 1895. Thanks for the link.
