Glenfield 30 Before & After
« on: February 22, 2010, 12:34:57 PM »
I sold my birch stock set on eBay for over $150.00 and replaced it with Walnut for less than $90.00.  Scope is a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5X32.

It's hard to believe it's the same gun. Looks good.

The walnut buttstock looks like an issue Marlin stock, that someone didn't want.

The buttstock is off a 336 and the forearm is off an 1894.

This rifle will shoot 1" three shot groups at 100 yards with Remington 170 grain factory ammo.
