Title: Marlin 336 Base for FF2?
Post by: JUGHEAD on May 15, 2011, 12:56:28 PM
Will it fit my already tapped Mossberg 935?  Or will additional drilling and tapping be required?  I saw one post that seemed to indicate that no modification would be required, but looking for confirmation in case I decide to go that route.

I can't give you total confirmation on the 935, but the base does fit the 1/2" center to center hole spacing on the 835 without any additional drilling or tapping. I assume they will be the same.

Just measure your hole spacing and if it's 1/2", you're good to go. Hope this helps.

But you will need 8-40 screws to fit the pre-drilled holes on a Mossy, the screws that came with mine were too small.

It will fit just fine not other drilling and tapping are needed.

Not anymore.  I had the 8-40 screw issue corrected.  They are now included in the package.

Just remember that there are still packages on the market that do not have the 8-40 screws included so you may still need to contact tech support for a free set of screws.  You can contact them at 888-228-7747 (you can hit 865 to skip the automated menu).
