Spring cleaning-"Marlin 94 butt stock"

I am not all together sure what I am doing! I have a Marlin 30TK that was rebarreled to .25-35 by a fellow in Pendleton. It is set-up as a rifle, nose cap, etc.

However the rocket surgeon/brain scientist who did the work made it a 19" barrel, rather than the 22+" I had requested. Long story there, but i am too sad to go into it much.

It looks so bizarre with that long rifle forend and the short stubby barrel that I have never even fired it. I think I am going to pull the barrel and sell it, then reinstall the original thutty-thutty tube. The buttstock will replace the birch stock it came with, and I will track down a walnut forend in due time.

When the wounds heal I will find another gunsmith with a .25 caliber blank and a better tape measure........
