So due to the lack of information this is so hard!
I have a Glenfield Model 70 .22 and I was looking at new stocks (just for something to do) I've been living off this little bit of info as its the best I could find

Glenfield/Marlin model 70 and its other numbers & derivations...
Marlin 989 Made 1962-1966
Marlin-Glenfield 989-G from 1962-1964
Marlin 989-M2 carbine made 1966-1979
Marlin/Glenfield 70 version from 1966-1969
Marlin 70HC 1988-1996
Marlin 995 1979-1994
Marlin 795 1996-present
Marlin 7000 (Heavy Target Barrel version) 1997-2006

House Brands (made for other companies with their rollstamp)
Coast to Coast 42 - Marlin 70
Coast to Coast 440 - Marlin 70
Coast to Coast 700 - Marlin 70/995
Cotter & Company 701 - Marlin/Glenfield 70
Katz 1282 made for Katz Drugstores was a Marlin 989
Western Field 45 - Model 70

So, as you can see, due to the constant name changes by Marlin, it was always hard to keep up with the darn things.
And you think the above is bad...just wait until you read the listing for the various Marlin 60's...LOL

The above info was taken from the Marlin House Brand sticky on RFC...which I wrote, so I give myself permission to use
Marlin House Brand listing - RimfireCentral.com Forums
It is thusfar, the most complete Marlin-Only listing...and I do update it when I find out something new & then verify it.

Any stock for a 60, can be modifyed for use on a 70/795.
Or you can use stocks made for 795's, BUT you must change the trigger guard for the newer squareback &/or LSHO style.
DIP makes really NICE ones of billet aluminium.


Mags...
10-round OEM Marlin 795 mags...slap right in.
there are 13-round OEM Marlin mags floating around...rare as heck...I've got ONE...and it ain't for sale
15-round National Magazine mags (steel) but ALWAYS need modification to work...in fact, I've still got one unmodded...because itsa pain.
15-round Plastic Ramline mags...no longer made...but auctioned often...
25-round Shooter's Ridge mags



Specifically the bolded part obviously.
I found this stock and I know I need to modify it for the detachable mag (as shown in the 2nd set of pictures)

My main concern is which trigger guard are they talking about, and I just want to make sure that this will work with my current stock trigger assembly (I searched for what I think that info was referring to)

any criticism or input would be greatly appreciated, even if its just an educated guess
 
I have a 70 hc... the trigger guard needs to be different as the guard that is on their tube mag rifles would interfere with the mag I believe.....

Let me know if you need any pics etc of mine in case that would be helpful to you.... (still confused myself how a tube mag stock can interchange with a DM stock).....
 
No chit. :eek:

Good one, now stop it............

Laugh2

:cheers:

... don't understand at all what you're trying to say at all Kamlooky...



SuperBrad, if you do have pics that would definitely be most helpful! its definitely a little bit harder to grasp when I don't have the parts infront of my to visualize and I'm going based on a red rectangle someone drew on their site! f:P:2:
