Does anyone make them?.....I realize it's not very traditional but I would love a houge overmolded for a 1894 marlin in stainless

I think Ramline makes some, or they did. I remember seeing them in the Midway flyer and I think in the Cabelas catalog.

Here's the one from Ram-Line, Marlin 336 series lever type. They have one for Winchesters too. Don't know if it will fit an 1894 though.
CTD/Ram-Line Syn Lever stock (http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ctd/product.asp?dept%5Fid=123708&sku=93205&imgid=&mscssid=TMRV6FQTQ77L9L70W0LEWL7712D64S4F)

Sounds like a sin to me, but might be good on a savage 99, if they made one.

Has anyone tried one of the Ramline stocks? I'm also thinking about using one with a stainless 336 for an all-weather jungle gun.

I put a Ramline stock on my 336. Also put the XS "Leverscout" mount and ghost ring sights on it.

The buttstock fit with no problems at all but the forearm required a little trimming to allow the band to fit in line with the notch in the barrel and magazine tube for the screw. A couple of minutes whittling with a box knife (after finally figuring out the problem :cuss: ) and it fits just fine.

I rather like the slim lines compared to the thick wooden stock.

Thank you for the response! It sounds great. Any pics? Does the stock feel like it is quality?

[KadicDeshi]

Sorry, no camera so no pics. I suppose I ought to put off my next gun purchase long enough to get a camera. ;)

It feels good, kind of changes the balance slightly toward the muzzle end due to the hollow nature of the stock. It originally had that line in the center that a lot of synthetic stocks seem to have, a thin spine of material that juts up and feels really sharp. I shaved that down with the box knife as well and then used a piece of fine grain (1000 grit?) sandpaper to smooth it out. Feels much better.

Yeah putting a synthetic stock on a nice levergun would be a sin... But then again it would give me an excuse to get another one!!!

we put a ramline set on a 94 ranger that had a mouse attack on the birch wood stock that was standard. I would say it was ok. I too had a little puttering to do to make it clean and nice. The ramline is not a High end composite, it is a sevicable replacement tho. Google it, I believe someone makes a high end composite for the 45.70 marlin. but i did not see it now.

With the high humidity in the summer where I live, alot of people put a synthitic stock on their truck guns

Wild West Guns offers fiberglass stock blanks for the Marlin. Not cheap ($259, unfinished, uninstalled) but very high quality.

MPI stocks makes some lever synthetics, but be prepared to spend A LOT of money for it.
