Will a stock from a 12 or 20 ga fit my 16 ga?? My 90 DT does not fit me very well and I was thinking about a custom stock. But after reading the thread on the other forum there is no way I am spending that much. Be better off buying a new gun. Since I just had this gun refinished last summer, I am not too keen about filing down the comb. I need more drop at comb and at heel. So I was thinking about buying another Marlin 90 and play with the stock to see if I can get a better fit. Since 16 ga do not come around too much, I was thinking about trying another gauge. If I can get my Marlin to fit, and have same POI as my Beretta autos I will be golden.
I fear the stock may be too old to have it bent.

Thoughts?? Thanks

Marlin used the same down-sized frame for both the 16 ga. and 20 ga. Model 90's. Therefore, I would think that a 20 ga. stock would fit a 16 ga. since they are made with the same frame.

I have several 20 ga. and 16 ga. Model 90's. While there are some differences in the amount of drop, the stocks on my guns are actually pretty consistant.

depending on what your idea of a custom stock is , I would CALL Macon Gunstocks and see what they've got . If it's just a plain field stock , they may have one sitting there ready to go I got a semi fancy for my 31 and I think it was 70 bucks . I put finish on it right out of the box , it was machined that good !

Do you have contact info for them? Would be worth a call.
I am looking for function and to be solid for lasting.

Thanks,
