I noticed that but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed. Better to be too big than too small. The whole stock is slightly oversized.

I haven't had time to work on this other than the weekends but I have the fitting complete Now I need to sand, polish, oil it, and start the long hunt for a bayonet band and a new barrel. It was...

Progress, it isn't perfect but I'm happy with it. I have a dremel, a utility knife and a small chisel.

I had to do everything with the butt except for the exterior inletting for the buttplate itself.

The buttplate I didn't have to do much with other than smooth out a high spot in the center and then cut out for the sliding door and the hole. Everything else doesn't fit but is close. I have to...

Well, they didn't do the butt at all which I wasn't happy about as it has to be the hardest thing to do. I worked on it today and it looks great with the buttplate on but I'm not bragging about the...

Stock came today and it really looks nice. Problem is, nothing fits in it. I have a LOT of hand work to do. It is correct but it is made slightly tight. The only thing not done on it is the hole...

I actually found a repro stock for $280.00 so I made the investment. I figure I'll keep my eyes open for a replacement barrel and just keep it looking like it should. Not going to cut the stock for...

So now...

Message sent to them, no reply as of yet.

Here's my issue with buying a new stock besides the price. I'll have to cut it at the muzzle end 1/2" because of the barrel setback which unless these were commonly done by the arsenal is going to...

Already found that site Friday before I bought the rifle. $550 is way too much. If that's Canadian dollars, it's a little more worth considering but I wasn't able to figure that out. I decided...

I have it torn apart for cleaning and stock repair. Primary crack is now fixed. Secondary small cracks are being clamped now. Metal is all cleaned, some finish loss and scratches here and there...

So this barrel set back is normal and nothing to worry about? I confirmed the position of the hand guard, you can see wear marks from the two positions of the barrel. That had me a bit concerned...

I've wanted one of these for years and found one today I couldn't pass up for the price, $249.00.

Of course I didn't have my manuals with me so I sat there in the store watching videos for half an...
