Changing from Pistol Grip to Straight Stock.
« on: June 17, 2011, 11:46:35 AM »
I am toying with the idea of changing the stock on my Glenfield to a straight grip.  What will be involved?  The stock of course, the lever and the bottom piece of the receiver which the lever attaches to, anything else?

You'll have to find a stock, trigger plate and lever. All in the same finish/material. No guarentees to the fit so some hand fitting may be needed?

   It is going to be alot cheaper, and alot less aggravation, to go to a few large gunshows, trade-in your current rifle,  find an old straight gripped marlin, refinish the stock, and replace a few worn parts.   In .30-30 they are not that hard to find.

Winter Hawk, I agree with Pastorp, Swanny over @ Marlin Owners would be your man.
