Sharing a pic of my Marauder with custom stock

Smaug · Aug 8, 2016

I have a first generation "Made in the USA" Marauder, in .177. The only thing I didn't like is that the stock stock (ha) was not that comfortable to shoot from a bench. Or seated. Or prone. It's only good offhand. I finally found this beautiful lightly-used stock second-hand for $150 or so.

I can't recall who the woodworker was. If someone recognized the work, please let me know.

Edit: Hmm. Images seem to be working intermittently with BBCode. Lemme try HTML...

If I could find one like that for my Gen 2 , at that price, I'd buy it in a minute . Very nice !

A gun should look as good as it shoots. My marauder was dead accurate so I dressed it up as well. Very nice stock you have.

That is beautiful. Someone put a lot of time and passion in that stock.

Very, very nice. Love the way the air tube is hidden down in the stock and the accents on the forestock and pistol grip really stand out. Heck of deal you found there.

That is SO much better looking than the original stock. Makes it look like a completely different gun.

"Nueces"DAYAM! That's gorgeous. Wanna sell it?

You can say that again!

Definitely looks like a Chavka stock-he seems to have fallen off the map, I used to see his posts on the Yellow fairly often, he'd even put up guns for sale with his stocks from time to time. Here's my ho-hum Corcoran stock.

That's a sweet looking rifle. And John, I wouldn't say ho-hum. I think that stock looks really good with that action/barrel/air tube. There's nothing like a really nice looking rifle is there?!

Totally agree! Looks Great John!

Thanks, I do have a weakness for pretty stocks, I got that one used in pristine condition. It's getting some "experience" with me as the gun is a hunter.

here are my 2 Chavka Marauders

Strever · Aug 11, 2016

This one is a Paul Bishop stock

Nice stocks, and the view from the deck is truly stunning! I'm in parched California and green foliage and open fresh water are a sight for sore eyes.
