Full stock for a Henry Mares Leg .22 ?

Yes they will, but stocks & forearms by themselves are just hard to find/get here in the red & white north.
Henry doesn't like to ship items outside the good old U.S. of A. unless you're a distributor.
There generally known for not being "customer oriented".
I checked their website and saw no ordering info for parts.
Straight from the "Parts" section of the Henry web site.
"NOTE: due to customs restrictions, we are not able to ship products to Canada or anywhere outside the US."
Just off the phone with them.
No shipping to Canada.
Not even a piece of wood.
Had the service rep. ask the manager to be sure.
Yes.
I was fortunate enough to get a used stock set (for a H001) off of the EE for my Mares Leg
Some steaming of dings, 6 coats of Tru-Oil and a new (more classy) crescent butt plate on the full length stock made a nice little carbine out of the fun but impractical Mares Leg.
Some CGN members have PO boxes in the US so can get stuff from Henry USA shipped there.
Or see how well a Winchester 94 butt stock fits, (supposed to be a near match) it was an option I was going to go with until I stumbled across the EE gem.
Or perhaps some folks on the RFC (rim fire central) site will have "take off" wood for sale. I have read how several have ordered "presentation grade" wood to replace the factory stuff so you may be able to get a full length butt stock for cheap.
Any way you can do it I highly recommend doing so. The good old .22LR really doesn't gain anything from barrels past 12-14" anyways so make the convoluted Canadian gun laws work to your advantage and have a SBR rifle that even most Americans can't own.

I'm with you. I haven't got one yet, but I really don't see the point of buying a Mare's Leg then altering it so its not a Mare's Leg. It's a pistol people, not a rifle.

For what it's worth, I have ordered and received three brasslite Henry .22 lever action receiver covers. These were offered for sale by the General manager of Henry who is a member of Rimfire Central. This was a special offer for members of rimfire central to be able to customize their H001 series of rifles. The receiver covers came directly from Henry Wisconsin and shipping to Canada was not an issue.
Ya....it's a NON pistol gripped, short stock, lever action pistol.
I was gong by what the manufacturer says about it. It's probably classified differently here in Canada. But the Henry folks consider it a lever action pistol.
