The fact the forearm was proportional was what made me think it was factory. Most people don't do that. I lopped no less than 2 20" Marlin 336s back to 16.5", and didn't do that to either one. The extra length was nice (to me) as far as handling, but the trapper length rifles looked disproportionate.

It was extra work but looks a lot better. (nt)
