I have a nice old Glenfield that has horrendous wood on it. I want to put something nicer on it, anyone have a source for nice wood, either solid or laminate?
I looked at Boyd's but saw a lot of grumbling online about their capped forearms being too short for Glenfield's. |

Years ago I bought some wood for a fire damaged 1941 Marlin 30-30 lever action.
It was somewhat ready to install but needed some fitting. The forend sent wasn't correct and with a phone call the correct one was on the way. I don't know if they are still in business. But back then they had a pretty good selection of different firearms furniture. Silver Hill Stocks 1-336-425-3888 |

Before I got banned at Marlinowners, I had this thread going which has some different pics of different forends.
https://www.marlinowners.com/threads/forend-end-cap-vs-barrel-band.561596/ The old part number was F406046, which you might still be able to find in stock somewhere. Sold out here, but a pic. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/page/mgwi/prod/F406046 |

Seems I read somewhere that the new Remington versions were a bit shorter. |

Seems I read somewhere that the new Remington versions were a bit shorter. Mine was a Glenfield 30A. The forearm part number I posted above was a Remlin part number, and fit with a little minor fitting. I got it from Brownells when Remlin was still in production. |

I had a Glenfield with the embossed deer head and oak leaves. I replaced the set with these:
lots of fitting required |

I got this set for my 39A back when Numrich had them.
Cost me $90. $53 for the stock (which will also fit the 30A, 336, 1895 etc) and $30ish for the forend. I was lucky to get an extra stock (not quite as nice) that I put on my 30A with the forend I linked a few posts up. This guy really hit the jackpot, same price I paid. https://www.rimfirecentral.com/threads/new-wood-for-39a.560344/ |

They're kind of full of themselves over there. |

They've ruined almost every forum I've been on. Marlinowners was no exception, and I tried to warn the regulars what we coming when VS started with their usual BS, and VS decided to ban me. |
