I plan on shooting the 190sa3 I just got a fair amount and would like a pistol grip stock on it. Is the CMP C stock a decent one?

I plan on shooting the 190sa3 I just got a fair amount and would like a pistol grip stock on it. Is the CMP C stock a decent one?
Yes, I bought one a few years ago for my 03-A3 project.
The stock is made by Boyd's for the CMP and is stamped with the CMP "cartouche".
At the time, you could order the stock with either a '03 or 03-A3 hand guard. I currently don't see the 03-A3 option any longer, so you may have to call and see if they have any more hand guards. The stocks are the same for either version.
The only issue I had with the stock was the rear screw hole needed to be opened up slightly so the screw would not touch. Other than that, it was a nice fit.
You can see the stock and other pics of the project here.
Resurrection: Restoring an 03-A3 Drill Rifle to a Shooter
Thanks. Orders in. The hand guard isn't a problem. The one on the rifle is pretty nice. I'll probably strip it and refinish it when I do the stock.
Nice restoration by the way. Very good looking rifle and it shoots as good as it looks.
buy the Minelli stock..much better fit and finish

And Chuck would know...
Now you tell me.
Boyds are a POS . Rear bolt hole is mis drilled.Rear bushing hole will need reboring realighing & reset with accuraglass , poor fit at the rear tang . Just in case others were planning to order a boyd . Look on Epay or Broker for a GI Keystone ,The extra you pay is worth it in the long run
Have faith. It'll work out. Keep thinking "It'll drop right in"...and it will.Quote:

What's done is done. I'll have to deal with what I get. If there is a next time I'll know better.
Have faith brother, it'll be fine...
The stock that is on it must ether be a replacement or has been heavily sanded. I can't find any markings on it at all inside or out.
FedEx just dropped off my stock. Looks nice . Hope it fits :madsmile:
Have faith. It'll be fine...and we'll soon know for sure.
Bolted in ok. Am I to assume that the fore end should be fit like my No4.Enfield with clearance from the breach to the muzzle end with about 5lbs up pressure at the muzzle free to move side to side?
Never fitted one , but from what I've read be sure the rear hole has it's bushing present and the tang has a bit of breathing room aft to prevent breakage from recoil.

It might be worth while to PM Chuckindenver and see what he has about fitting one. I know what he said before, but it is good so maybe he can guide you a bit...and see? It did fit ok.
i have no good advise on fitting Boyds wood lol...best advise i can give is to send it back and ask for a refund...then buy a Italian made stock..
avoid the China made stocks Sarco is selling...one was sent to me for a try and fit...after 4 hours of monkey business..i gave up..
Well it's done. Looks good to me . Now I have to get to a range to find out if it really is good.

As for looks, I told you to keep good spirits and see? It worked out. Now, for grouping...
Is there somwhere else one can go to see a list of those Minelli stocks ? Their site is all screwy, cant get to a list of products.
Looks like Brownell's carries them.
+10 on this!Quote:
