Mockup of a Henry Mare's Leg with a full stock
- Thread starter Al Flaherty's
- Start date
'Murica. Stateside the Mares legs are handguns, adding a stock would make it an SBR. Cheaper and easier to get a handgun (well, was cheaper until the tax part got scraped but I think they are still registered?)
I've seen on here over the years, this is pretty much standard practice for many with these Mars Legs. It's been done allot & posted already, places they ordered them Etc. Only sayiig this, as it seems your posting is like its something new lol meanwhile with a ton of real examples posted, & no fake shop/digital mock up needed.. .. Sorry 
People are fascinated by all sorts of things, one man's trash is another man's gold.... that said, there are times when" the smaller the better" comes into play. Unfortunately in Canada the people we pay taxes to don't trust us with all the tools in the tool box of self defence.
Most people with reasonable upper body strength a .44 or .45 can be shot effectively with training. .357 is nicer for most people and .38special is a pop gun for kids, old folks and women..... then there is .22lr if the .38 special is to much to tame!
Full stock is an option in Canada as well. It's a pretty easy swap.
I bought a used Henry .22lr mare's leg on the EE years ago and it came with a full length stock that the seller had... I sold it on the EE as it wasn't really needed .22lr given that it's easy to do a cheek weld for stability off hand and not be rocked by the recoil.
The perfect mare's leg custom stock to my mind would be in between the full length and the mare's leg and have a rubber butt pad instead of the crescent butt. Long enough to shoulder when the shooter's chest is squared off with the target.
I did mine in a different way
My mares leg is a 44 mag and I have a regular rifle in 45 colt
What I did was ordered the “fancy” wood set for my 45 Colt
I took the rear stock from the 45 Colt and put it on the mares leg
It was about 500 bucks all in for the fancy wood stock set
That I can understand, though I'm personally not terribly interested in a gun that holds less than 10 in the tube. I have revolvers in 44 or 45 for that.People are fascinated by all sorts of things, one man's trash is another man's gold.... that said, there are times when" the smaller the better" comes into play.
