INTERCHANGABLE WOOD ON MARLIN EXTERNAL HAMMER PUMP SHOTGUNS
I have recently started collecting all of the Marlin external hammer pump shotguns. They are out there but most of them look like they have been laying in a road ditch for the last 100 years. So I have bought several that are Fixer Uppers. My main question for today is: Is the wood forearm and stock interchangeable from one model to another on these old pump shotguns ?? Right now I am just working on all 12 gauge guns. So does the Tootsie Roll forearm and stock of a model 1898 fit on a model 17 or 21 ?? The forearm on all 3 models has the correct 2 hole attachment for the screws. And is the top and bottom receiver tangs on all 3 models the same ? So the same stock would fit on all 3 models as well ?? Any advice will be appreciated as I am trying to track down quite a few parts right now. These are the 3 models that I am working on right now. Thanks in advance.

The simple answer to your question is YES. A good source for parts is eBay. . I purchased a lot of parts there.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!
