Thank You Peter44ru for the buttpad! Here it is installed

[O.S.O.K.]

Peter44ru read my post about slimming my Marlin 94's handguard and installing new sights, etc. and decided that it needed one more thing... his Marlin hard rubber buttpad Well, after insisting that I accept it, he promptly sent it my way.

When I got home this afternoon, it was waiting for me - thanks Pete!!

So, I decided to go ahead and fit it to buttstock right away - as it turns out, it was a very close match and needed very little sanding...







Looks great! The icing on the cake.

It is now truely complete.

Hey there O.S.O.K. - Looks good. There seems to be one common trait among members of this forum. If they have a workbench, it is knee deep in miscellaneous junk. Mine included. Makes me smile... Nice job. Wind

Like a cherry on top - the perfect conclusion to a great project!

I'm going to do it to mine, probably won't look that good though.

Thanks guys

Mescalero - why not? Just tape the stock (you may not notice too that I left the little black spacer on there) and use a fine rasp or course sandpaper to take it down - finish with 220 sand paper - only takes about a half hour or so - maybe less.

Oh and that second photo looks like I sanded the buttstock - but that's just where I took the tape off and there was some fine dust on the stock from the sanding. The bottom one is after I cleaned it a bit more.

Stock needs some more oil now too - the initial applications soaked in all the way - pretty dry now.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

You can do eet!

Really, its a piece of cake.

You're mighty welcome, and it looks pretty good, Pardner !

IIRC, the edges will polish/burnish nice & smooth by rubbing them with a laquer thinner soaked rag on the fingertip - IF you like the burnished look, i.e.

Now - Go shoot something with thet puppy !

Good thing he didn't send ME one; I'd need an instruction manual to not screw it up, and even then I'd probably still not do a quality job worthy of the donation.

[O.S.O.K.]

Aw come on guys - this is a piece of cake. The screw holes lined up perfectly so there was nothing to do there - all's I had to do was put some tape on the stock and remove a little material off the edge of the buttplate. Easy as pie - don't let the messy shop fool ya!

Looks good. I did that to my 44, but I just used a Marlin factory pad. It still keeps it from slipping off the shoulder though.

Nice job on the buttpad. It looks great. What kind of sling is that & where did you get it?

Thanks, its a "Montana Sling" and you can get it from Cabelas or Brownells that I know of. Brownell's is a much better deal if you have an account with them.

They come in 1 and 1 1/2" widths, brown or black and have the QD swivels attached. I like the 1".

Thanks - but mine is a factory pad - hard rubber. Is that what you mean by factory pad? The one that came on mine was the red rubber one shown laying on the bench there...
