Jim, that a lever-action Marlin? Sweet! those are pretty much untouchable price-wise anymore. The stock on the rifle, while wouldn't take much to get'her squared away, I just figure if I was going to put a bunch of labor (of love) in the stock it might as well be a nice piece of wood that wouldn't be splice at the buttstock. I'm always conflicted though with fixing what is, replacing with aftermarket, and putting factory wood back on these old gals.
