I have a couple Marlin 336 rifles that I would like to get the stock and forearms refinished. Do you guys know of anyone in the middle Tennessee area that does stock refinishing?
Thanks

DIY using TruOil. Not hard to do just have to take your time.I have a couple Marlin 336 rifles that I would like to get the stock and forearms refinished. Do you guys know of anyone in the middle Tennessee area that does stock refinishing?

Yeah, I don't get the appeal of synthetic stocks on Marlins. Good friend of mine has a 336 30-30 and did it long time ago. He said it increased the felt recoil considerably and unfortunately lost the old walnut stock and forearm in their last house. He called the new owner soon after moving but the guy didn't give a care. Probably had already done something with it I suppose.I had mine redone when I had it re blued. I'm not fond of it. It's very glossy. I'm going to redo it myself with boiled linseed oil or something with a matte finish.
I hate synthetic stocks personally. I'm old school I guess. I prefer the look of the guns I admired as a kid .
You can knock the gloss off with 0000 steel wool or a WELL WORN GRAY Scotchbrite pad. Just go light on the pressure.I had mine redone when I had it re blued. I'm not fond of it. It's very glossy. I'm going to redo it myself with boiled linseed oil or something with a matte finish.

Good deal. Take some before pics if you will and I hope he does a good job for you. I need to do the same since my nephew scratched the stock toting both it and a bag chair on the same shoulder on a juvi hunt several years ago.Thanks for all the input guys. I am slammed at work and honestly the first time I tried to do this on an old rifle I sucked at it. Guess I don't have the patience...LOL.
I found a guy in Dickson that is going to do them for me at a reasonable cost.
If he does a good job post his information if you don't mind. I live in Dickson and have one I would like done as wellThanks for all the input guys. I am slammed at work and honestly the first time I tried to do this on an old rifle I sucked at it. Guess I don't have the patience...LOL.

He could probably find a used set on eBay, GunBroker, or the Marlin forum.Yeah, I don't get the appeal of synthetic stocks on Marlins. Good friend of mine has a 336 30-30 and did it long time ago.

Yeah, or he could just give one of his best buddies a super deal on it since he doesn't deer hunt anymore and the gun's just collecting dust in the shade of his safe queens.He could probably find a used set on eBay, GunBroker, or the Marlin forum.
That sounds like the best option!Yeah, or he could just give one of his best buddies a super deal on it since he doesn't deer hunt anymore and the gun's just collecting dust in the shade of his safe queens.
