Wood vs Synthetic is a completely personal choice. What's wrong with the original walnut stock? Broken, missing, just beat up ...? Does it have the original peep sight? I'm working on a Marlin 80G right now.
Yeah, I'm wondering too. Got an 80-DL myself (without a ser. number), figure it's from the 40's. Say's it shoots A-S-L-LR. Don't know what the A is though.
Well...wood is traditional and original...synthetic is good if it's gonna be out in the elements. Here's a few different choices as to where to buy: http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/ http://www.gun-parts.com/marlinstocks/ https://www.macongunstocks.com/wood_blanks.html http://www.rifle-stocks.com/ http://www.canyoncreekgunstocks.com/Display.asp http://customstockmaker.com/custom-gunstocks
