My kids (5 and 8) have taken an interest in shooting my 17, but the stock is too long and they have a hard time using it. Any suggestions on where to find a cheap stock I can cut down and fit to them? thanks-Duff

Ebay has one up for bid now.

Don't know what kind of Marlin it is, but I would probably cut the stock that's on it and buy a better one for the gun later.

But if that doesn't suit you, you might want to try to get a take-off through GunBroker.com or Auctionarms.com. These are consignment items that you can purchase out right or bid on.

Another source is Gunparts.com out of NY, but I find them to be a little high-priced for used items.

Go to the ebay web site then to

"Sporting Goods" then type "917" in the sporting goods search box.

Marlin Stock ?

I recently had a Marlin stock that developed a crack and eventually chipped out. I informed Marlin and they sent me a new stock, no questions asked. Maybe your stock is cracked and you just haven't noticed it yet.
