Nice stock for the price - ATI Outdoors Fiberforce Marlin Thumbhole Rifle Stock

The original wooden stock on my 1973 Marlin Model 60 was too short for my long arms, making sight alignment difficult. I switched to the synthetic stock to get a better length of pull and improve my ability to align the sights.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Not all Marlin Model 60s are the same, however. Mine is from 1973, and the trigger group didn’t line up perfectly with the synthetic stock. I used a needle file to widen the channel where the rear base of the trigger group slides into the stock, and slightly opened up the front trigger screw hole to bring everything into alignment with the upper assembly. The adjustments only took a few minutes, but the process could be frustrating if you can’t identify where the mismatch is occurring. Work slowly, and before tightening anything down, eyeball where the binding points are so you know exactly what needs to be relieved.
