    Thanks daan, a fal stock would be cool, I’ll keep it in mind, probably going to stay with a factory style one though. But yes, with a 16” barrel, this rifle is going to be short! I was planning to...

    I'm considering building a custom .303 martini, and I have a chance to get a Nepalese Gahendra action, but, is it going to be anywhere near strong enough to handle the pressure .303 puts out? As I...
