Marlin 60

[Dargasonus]

Refinished a new stock for my old squirrel gun over the weekend, pretty happy with the way it came out. Please excuse the poor camera phone pictures .

Here's what I started with:

Looks nice! I bought a new factory wood stock to replace the plastic one on my 795. I plan on reshaping the fore-end a bit an maybe doing some checkering.
What finish did you use?

Thanks. I love 795s! I've been watching around to find a old one to restore. I just used Tru-Oil and a little Armorall to speed up the curing process.

Here is a good forum for 795/60 info if you haven't already found it:

The stock looks great, It looks like a pro did it

Looks really nice! I am a pushover for a nice brown laminated stock!

Wanna finish my pepper that i inletted for a 795. Everything fits pretty well, but just haven't had time to do all the sanding and finishing.

I would even spring for the beer!

That does look good. I used to buy them at a pawn shop cheap, refinish the stocks, clean them up and sell them for a little less than they went for new. Mine looked pretty good, but it was just the original stock. That looks just plain nice. Good job.

Thanks for the comments guys. Those pepper stocks are gorgeous Aclark, I'd almost buy a SS marlin just for an excuse to get one :P

I had thought that would be alot of fun..downside is that I would have a hard time selling something that I put much time into

I bought my like NEW in the box MARLIN 60 for $50about 10 years ago & I wouldn't sell it cause it's accurate & doesn't jam

Nice and cool out, the squirrels are moving! ...But not for long

 

[MrSmitty]

Very very nice! Good job!

Very nice looking rifle. Where did you get that stock? Is it from Boyds? I have a Marlin 60 that I have had for about 35 years. Would love to put it in a thumbhole stock. I have a Remington 700 SPS Varmint .223 in a Pepper thumbhole and just ordered a nutmeg thumbhole from Boyds for my Savage 93 .17HMR. Just can't seem to get enough of the thumbholes.

Is that a Boyds stock? Looks nice. I put one on my Ruger MK 223. Really spiffed it up.

Sweet looking stock! I did a pepper laminate on my Mauser they turn out very well. Nice feel to them also

 

[Dargasonus]

Yeah it's a Boyds stock, thanks for compliments!

They only produce ones for the Model 60 about once a year unfortunately, gotta catch em when they come in! This years production sold out in a couple weeks.
