A 336 project to make a "Marauder like" 30 30

I'm taking a youth edition 336 I got and putting on an adult sized semi in-letted walnut stock I bought and have fitted and about finished ..I've done some other things to the gun...had a western happy trigger replacing the stock trigger. It had a ranger point precesion medium loop lever. And a ranger point precision feather loading gate, and an aluminum mag follower...
When I'm done I will have a " Marauder like" 30 30.....no, it won't be an original Marauder...but I won't have 2000 in it either....
The stock is still drying from last coat of Tru oil...used clothes hangers hung on deer antlers as a place to hang it...hey, I don't get much company....it will be ok ... The picture on the floor shows it on gun before finishing stock

I thought Marauders were straight gripped?

A 16 inch 336 carbine is cool.

Wow! What a project. The wood looks nice! If it makes you happy, it is a project worth doing. Looks fun.

Nice project, and like Al said, some nice lumber.
I cut down a like new '74 35 Rem. to 16.5", handy and accurate.
Let us know how she shoots, when you get around to it.

I shot a doe with it two years ago when it had the youth stock on it. We will see what stock changing does to the whole dealie ....

Liking that re-finish you did there. Nice wood grain.

Just because I could do it, I switched butt stocks on a 1988 336 35rem and a 1988 336 Texan 30-30.
Not specifically a "Texan" booster but the price was right.
Here is a picture after the switch.

To do the switch correctly I'd need to switch for stocks. The match exactly but the wood does not quite match end to end.

That’s nice wood for sure! The drying “rack” is awesome too! I’d love to cut down my 336 BL to 16.5” as well, but I don’t think I can legally. If it’s factory, I can go as short as I want (I’m keeping both eyes open for a Mares Leg in .44 to put a full stock on).
