Im still looking for a stainless Marlin 60 but Im using mine to test fit.

Ive started with an older model stock w/o the checkering from Jeff at Lees gun parts in Irving. Im opening it up to accept the newer model with the bolt release and larger trigger guard.





After the trigger gets fitted Im sanding it down and putting on a transparent pink stain and a couple coats of gloss poly.

Nice work and will be a one of a kind, always something special about Dads doing something for their daughter.

Well done dad!
