Default Convert 45-70 Marlin Cowboy to pistol grip?

Curious if anyone has converted a cowboy 1895 45-70 from Marlin to a 336-type pistol grip stock:



I prefer the look of the pistol grip, but I don't like the 1/2 magazine the 336s come with:




I have an email out to a gunsmith to see if he can get an extended tube on on of the blued guns and also for the XLR guns, but I doubt thats the case, so I'm checking on the other end hehe.

Besides, I think that extra weight on the 26" gun would maybe help with recoil (though I'll be adding a pacy or similar recoil pad, mecury etc if its too much).
