Red, White, & Blue Stock Blank, Help Please
4/15/2012 7:14:17 PM
Came across this last week and was wondering if you guys could help me out. I don't know anything about this stock, and was hoping somebody could shine some light on it.
All I know is that it is a red, white, & blue laminate, and it is an unfinished stock. Has no inletting, but looks like it has holes pre-made for a but-plate or recoil pad. There is no finish at all on it, and is in the "raw" state. There is no dings, dents etc in the stock. There is a little discoloration as you can see in the pics on the rear portion, which I do not know what it is. I would assume that it would "disappear" after the finish was applied.
Stock is 26 3/8" long, 4 3/4" tall, and roughly 2" wide. The fore-end is the widest part (2 inches) and the fore-end section is roughly 3" tall at the tallest point.
If anybody can tell me a little about the stock, like the style and intended purpose, that would be awesome. Also, an approximate value would be great too, as I am unsure if I am going to keep it or use it. Probably not gonna use it to be honest.
Not sure if this will give any clues or not, but I got it from a place that was hugely affiliated with Marlin Firearms, so I am not sure if this was one of Marlins' stocks or not.
Thanks!

Looks like a Marlin 7000t stock blank.

Awesome, thanks guys.
I did a little Googling, and it looks like the 7000T is no longer made.
So now the big question, what's it worth?
Thanks!

Since it's a blank, it could probably be fitted to any number of rifles,( with a lot of work).
Needs some adjustable hardware for the buttstock.
SWAG on value: fifty bucks at a gunshow ????

50 bucks? Really? Woulda thought it was worth more due to the style of the stock and the type of material used, seeing as it isn't a run-of-the-mill birch stock or anything like that.
I do agree that it does require allot of work though, between the inletting & finishing.
