Marlin 795 Rifle - Value .22LR plinker fun

I started modifying the Marlin 795 later in the afternoon and just brought the ATI Fiberforce stock inside from recent painting since its warmer then my garage and I wanted to see it installed. I didn't receive my scope this week as I thought I would so that will go on next week. I also just received my Caldwell NXT rest the other day. I am going to go ahead and bring the Marlin to the range tomorrow for kicks and test out the iron sights. My rear sight was installed crooked, looking down sights it is way to the right. Very tiny rifle compared to my old bolt action. Looking forward to tomorrow!

I also used the Krylon Camouflage paints (khaki, olive, brown) ... forgot to add that I used Krylon Matte clear on top of the paint in hopes of added durability.







Here are few pictures of the ATI Fiberforce stock modification using a Dremel and high speed cutter bit. Since it wasn't made for the Marlin 795 you have to remove the section in (pic 2) to fit the magazine. And also on the bottom of the stock you must remove a little of the stock to make a recessed area to fit the Marlin 795 trigger guard (pic 3)

Overall a fairly easy task to adapt the Ati Fiberforce stock to a Marlin 795 and might be worth a little coin and effort to experience a different feel for the rifle.
