2 Marlin big loop levers on Gunbroker. The one for the 1895 will work.
I'm definately not "real handy". Are these bolt on and bolt off parts I could order and have a local gunsmith (who's familiar with lever actions) install?You need the Stock, lever, and trigger plate. If you are real handy the Parts can be modified into A straight stock. (REAL HANDY )
Look here www.marlinowners.com in the gunsmithing sectoin.
They are direct change parts. Simple job. The hard part is finding the parts. will be easier to buy A texan. If you can find one.
Bergmen. you are incorrect. The upper tang is on the reciever and does not need to be altered. The lower tang is on the trigger plate not the reciever. You just need to replace the pistol grip trigger plate with the straight grip trigger plate, lever, and buttstock.
finding A texan probably is easier than finding the parts.
Does anyone happen to know the proper part numbers I'd need to order? Can the parts (and part numbers) from a straight stock 1895 be used on the 336?Bergmen. you are incorrect.

In a perfect world I'd like to use my current 336 as I've fallen in love with it. I've got a local gunsmith who does a lot CAS so he can likely do the work.
If given the choice, would you guys get a pre-Remington 336W, 336C, or vintage 336SC or 336RC, or 336A?
If the 336 has a straight grip stock, does that automatically make it a Texan?
