so I have this old Marlin 100 "boys rifle" and it is a little beat up, so I thought it could be a fun project to see how accurate and fun to shoot I can make it
1st thing , reshape the stock, the bloody thing was like shooting a 2x6 , so I started reworking the stock , did a deap cut to make better grip, so far so good.
then I build a new trigger guard out of aluminum , much better then the stock metal
next an adjustable comb was made by drilling thru the stock , slitting off the top ,tapping it for 3/8 bolts , and presto , adjustable comb. the comb guide rods need cut shorter currently the rods are hold in place with set screws thru the side of the butt, I will make better threaded inserts when I paint the stock
then I made a wood bock to help with the pull, the rifles pull has always been a little short for me
now its time to pillar bed the action, so to my garage machine shop to make the pillars, the top pillar is aluminum,and I used an end mill to make the pillar fit the receiver, the receiver has a 7/8 O.D. to I made the pillar to fit, the bottom pillar was spun from a piece of 303 stainless
I then inleted the stock on the milling machine
I will post pics after I get the pillar installed in the stock, and after that I will recrown the whole thing in the lathe, add a lighter spring to the crappy trigger, paint and be done......I think.......
and if your wondering the scope mount is a square b for a shotgun
what ya think? no it aint petty yet, but it is a fun project, and a work in progress
