Sometime around the first of this year I picked up this Marlin from a member her and I am just now getting around to putting it back into shape. The seller was straight up with me about the condition of the gun. Thanks again @Moylan .
Here is the picture he posted of it in the appraisal section.
As you can see the forearm is missing. Likewise the butt plate and magazine follower and the screws for the forearm cap. I searched and found those items but had other thing going on at that time so I waited to order. Well as luck would have it the forearm went "out of stock". So I decided to try making one. I have some black walnut on hand(see my threads about "cutting boards". So here is the journey to a forearm made by yours truly.
Pictures to follow.
