Hi Friends - We're excited to announce our new Marlin Polymer Forearms. Stay tuned for the butt stocks as well. :)

Let us know what you think!

After much pleading from customers, RPP is excited to introduce our new all weather, M-LOK forend for Marlin lever guns. This robust, glass-filled polymer unit blends traditional lines with modern functionality, enhancing the look, feel, utility and durability of Marlin’s classic hunting rifles. The sandstone texture and generous palm swell offer excellent purchase, while a dozen M-LOK slots (both sides and bottom) provide attachment points for a variety of modern accessories. Better still, one part can replace both cap style and barrel band type original forearms.


Key Features:


- Robust, weatherproof, glass filled polymer


- 12 M-LOK slots for accessories


- Grippy texture and generous palm swell for confident control


- Paintable with no-bake on paint coatings like Duracoat or Cerakote


- Fits all Marlin centerfire lever guns (barrel band types use optional adapter)


- Weighs only 3oz (half a traditional wood forearm)


- Easy install in 15-20 min. (light fitting may be required)


Fits Marlin 336 in .30-30 and .35 Rem; Marlin 308 and 338; Marlin 444; Marlin 1894 in .357 Mag, .44 Mag, .45 LC; Marlin 1895 in .45-70 govt; Marlin 450M

Any ideal when the butt stock will be available ? Really would be interested in the set. Just my opinion but the stock set should match, looks "hodge podge" with a wood stock and a polymer / tactical forearm....not judging anybody who elects to go this route just my opinion. But really like the direction you are heading and will buy a set when available.

We have the prototype done. Nice matching set. Just waiting a bit to see how much interest we receive in "the set" before getting the butt stocks made. Will come with a Limbsaver recoil pad.

Regarding weight savings, you'll be interested to know that the polymer set (butt and forend) shaved an entire pound off our laminate fitted test rifle. That's pretty substantial. Not to worry though, that high tech Limbsaver is one heck of a recoil pad.

By the way, any one notice the end of the mag tube on our pictured rifle?

It will have a sling stud.

Talked to the guys and we could potentially design/sell some spacers to change LOP should we see enough interest.

We work a lot with a very talented guy Ely Yerian in Montana. He's close with Lew at Grizzly Customs too. Oh and by the way, Lew bought our first one and loves them. Expect to see many more of his custom built Marlin's wearing our stocks. :)

He worked his magic on one of our forearms and got an almost perfect Cerakote paint match to the Marlin 45-70 and 336XLR grey laminate stocks.

So options...

Have not designed the straight stock version YET but expect it would follow later this year.

I think Grizzly Customs might do that bear claw on their Marlin custom builds. :)

Well, we can't just mill the polymer stock for a Marlin bullseye, because the material isn't there to be milled--they aren't solid all the way through. They are well braced internally for rigidity though. No cheap flimsy feel for our customers!

There will almost certainly be other iterations of the stock, so the bullseye is something we can revisit.

Thanks for the feedback! ��

Yes indeed. Butt stocks and sets should be available before the week is out!

We still need to design a straight butt stock version (the forearm fits all Marlin's). Expect that will happen in Q1 2020.

Ok, so the first time I had heard about Ranger Point was reading an article about the custom work they performed. What really caught my attention was the shell holder modification to the butt stock.
Just out of curiosity, any chance we could see a polymer version of that? Oh, and don’t forget the stud for a single point sling!

We're still debating re. designing a butt stock option with the cutout. We have had LOTS of great feedback on it over the years and every time we post a photo of one of our customs on Instagram/Facebook. Recently even Donald Trump Jr commented how much he liked that butt stock. :)
