shaping a Marlin 1895
Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2014 8:07 pm
If anyone has an original 1895 Marlin (square bolt) with original wood, I would greatly appreciate photos of the top of the forearm where it rolls over to the barrel. I am shaping my replacement wood and I need to know how to radius it just right. I tend to leave the top of the forearm too flat I think but I don't know what real stock looks like (they are rather rare in this neck of the woods).
I would also like a good look at an original comb nose as well. How thin it is? Does it have much concave? How steep?
Any photos of these details on an original 95 would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Brent
