Marlin 795 stock too short. Any ideas?

[Firehoser]

I have a Marlin 795 with synthetic stock. The stock is too short for my liking. Other than forking out bucks on a Boyds laminate stock are there any other fixes anyone could suggest?
Thanks...

Slip on rubber butt pad, or order a stock from Boyds .

Not too familiar with the Marlin 795 with the synthetic stock. Can the butt plate be unscrewed and removed. If so, a nice Walnut or other fine wood spacer could be made if you are a bit handy with wood working tools, or know someone who is. The alternative is to have a thick recoil pad put on it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Going from memory (not my best resource)and a model 60, the butt is screwed in, AND fitted very snugly. You could certainly add a chunk 'o' lumber on the end.

If you're anywhere near me, fir off a PM, as I keep any chunks of stock I shorten (M'boy is still growing, and they'll go back on one day).

Just a heads up before you go out to buy a slip on recoil pad for your Marlin. The stock is smaller than most rifle stocks so the recoil pad may not stay on.
