I’m thinking of trying to fit a Prod into a Marauder rifle stock. I’ve got a Challenger trigger group and trigger guard which will work on a Prod. The forearm on the rifle stock would need to be shortened so I’m thinking a wood stock would refinish better than synthetic. Barrel band would also need to be inletted. Can anyone think of anything else that would be needed? Without a stock in hand it’s hard to visualize major stumbling blocks. The gauge hole may be a major problem. Any ideas or input will be appreciated.
PROD in Marauder rifle stock
- Thread starter marquette
- Start date
I take it that you have a Marauder stock hanging around?I am doing the same thing,but I am using a Boyds stock.I see no major problems
I am wanting a carbine,many others have done the same thing.Oh, the Boyds stock is for a Discovery and is a Ambi as I shoot lefty.

The air tube on the prod is a lot thinner the mrod's air tube. You will have to fill in a lot of material in that space. With what material, I wouldn't know without it looking rough.

If memory serves the marauder has a much larger tube than the Prod so the fit would not be good at all;

Interesting idea if you can center and fill the gap.
The p-rod tube OD is .87” (7/8, 22.2mm)
Mrod tube OD is 1.25” ( 1 1/4, 31.6 mm)
May check ebay for other Crosman models like a 1377. Little sanding and the VSS and SVD style stocks I found fit really well. Rapid66 had a bullpup that looked loke a Prophet’s little cousin. No clue where to find it, maybe someone else has a link.
If youre stuck on a marauder stock, please keep the post updated. Love to see it. Could try eva foam clay to make a mold or thermoplastic to make a bridge. Dunno, just thinkin.

I would stay away from the Tom West stocks. Had one on a 2240. Finish sucked and fitment was terrible. I had to epoxy bed the stock and more before I was satisfied.
I am also thinking about a Boyds stock. Interested to see how this pans out.

i just happen to have one onhand ... looks like it would take some extensive shaping, and youd probably need to fab a plate in the end to cover the trigger area ..interestingly the gauge hole looks like its about in the right place, thats about it though .. im sure after its cut down and shaped theres enough material there to inlet the tank .. anyway heres a few pics for reference ..

I looked at a Marauder today and agree it will take some bedding to fit the air tube. I thought the same about the gauge hole being very close.
The Boyd’s stock is still in the mix. Let me know how your project goes.
Air Revisions has Marauder take off stocks at a good price which is my motivation to use one vs the Boyd’s stock. I bought my first Boyd’s stock for $99 full price many years back I think I have 3 of them now and each one keeps getting more expensive

An easier way to go would be to start with a OEM Discovery, or 2260 stock.
The tube channel would be correct for the .875" dia. P'rod tube. The Challenger trigger group will fit with a bit of trimming with a Dremel. In the case of the 2260 stock you would need to bore it for the gauge unless you block off the gauge.

I didn’t realize the 2260 was so close to a Discovery. The adjustable cheek rest of the marauder is the drawing point

To get the adjustable cheek rest you are moving a long way from the compact carbine that the P'rod is when you marry it to the true Moose of a stock that the M'rod has.
A simpler compromise might be to buy an adapter and connect the P'rod to a A R style stock with an adjustable cheek riser. Granted, not wood..but easier.

A Crosman Challenger stock would fit.
It’s fully adjustable, but the forearm needs to be shortened to accommodate the short PROD tube.
