You should be able to find an original old wood buttstock to match if you post a wanted EE ad, a boyd's would be an awful thing to do to this gun
An old friend of mine handed me his Marlin 336 RS in .35 Rem a while ago and told me to keep it as he was moving out of country to retire. So many memories and nostalga in this rifle that I have not touched it and it has become a safe queen. Well, perhaps a safe TROLL might be a more accurate description!
This rifle has been WELL used and Abused. The rear stock is broken in...I don't know how many places because it is wrapped solid in duct tape. Yeah...you heard right...lol. The fore stock is good and the metal is all good just has no blueing left. I have not fired it but my friend used it, loved it and hunted with it until the month he left.
I am debating whether or not to replace the stocks with something like a Boyd's replacement and do a rebuild on the rifle complete with re-blueing just as a project rifle and for poops and giggles. Maybe not financially sound but anyone think it is worth the effort? Any suggestions?

I have never seen a stock from Boyds so was not aware there were any issues. I will give the EE a try and see what I can come up with for an original rear stock. Thanks for the info guys.

noticed this calibre has a loyal following over in the marlin forums. i imagine it would be a really nice mild deer cartridge.
