I have been trying to lighten my wood stock bull barrel Marlin 917 17hmr for a couple years now. I've been meaning to pretty much make an exact replica of my Marlin 880sq bull 22lr - which is by far my favorite rimfire I have ever shot. So I've been on a quest to find a discontinued synthetic stock with a monte carlo cheek piece. It has not been easy but I finally got one on Ebay for less than $25 to my door. It has a homemade spray camo job on it so I'll have to see how bad it looks. I might cover it up with a texture paint or maybe even get it dipped since the price is right on the stock. So I'm hoping to get this by the end of the week  |

I'm told the 800 and 900 series stocks are 100% interchangable provided both guns are the same (22lr/22lr and magnum/magnum). This is said to have come off a 22mag.
I guess I'll see ;D

The good news --- the stock looks great The bad news --- it is in fact NOT going to fit  I guess I will be trying to re-sell it |

Ok, I found out the problem. A 800 series rifle should fit in a 900 series stock, but not the other way around. The 900 series is built just a little different around the trigger. So I got into a little bidding war but am getting a 900 series synthetic stock soon. I don't know that it's a bull barrel - I suspect it is just because they sold more stainless bulls than stainless sporters. If it's a sporter, I guess I'll try sanding it. This should work |
