So I recently found a Marlin model 80 and picked it up for a heck of a deal. The only thing I saw wrong with it was it was missing the butt plate, trigger guard has been replaced with a plastic one but still looks ok, and it was missing one screw for the clip bezel plate. Bolt action moves great and it is in overall really good shape. I am trying to find a butt plate for this but I am not having any luck unless I buy a complete stock which I don't need and they cost way too much. Does anyone know what other models have the same size as a Marlin model 80? It measures 4-5/8" long and 1-9/16" wide at its widest point. I found some online that are really close to that measurement but they are recommended for other rifles and not the model 80. I would like to find one that says "Marlin" on it to keep the gun original. Based on the information I found the gun is from 1934-1939 since it does not have a serial number and no micro-boring. So I just want to keep it original, keep it clean, and kill some squirrels with it. Also does anyone know what range the sights are set at? I can easily adjust it to other notches I just don't know how many yards each notch moves the sight. Anyone have ANY info on this gun that is unique or interesting?
