can't do it

[Mizzouboy]

I got a CMP Italian Rockola in a birch stock that looked like somebody took a chainsaw to the oiler slot. Must have been one frustrated Italian there! Fortunately I found a nice Rocky stock for it...

Not even on utilty birch?



I've got confess that a couple stocks I have tried all of the techniques listed and still had to shave a little wood. It's a last ditch option for a utility stock.
ETA:
Or so I thought , there may be more tricks that are not listed yet.

Nope!

Unless the stock is a new manufacture, it's probably been thru a whole lot worse than would require modifying it.

Just a thought....

Good point.
One of the stocks was an an al cheapo birch repo from Fulton that needed fitting in a number of places.

Out of the real military stocks the score is only two or maybe three out of a dozen or so....

If I remember right, the early C tips are a little thinner then the later full tips and the early stocks were designed for those tips. I think they opened up the sling slot a bit on the later stocks to fit the later thicker tips, Ray

Ray, not doubting you one bit, but do you think you could find the source for that info? Just trying to expand my limited knowledge.......
Thanks for any help.

Sorry to see that. Some of the folks have personal preferences about wood.
According to a couple of people , there's nothing quite as good as Norwegian wood.
Even if it's cross bred with with a couple different kinds of dutch.

Sounds like the Beatles song... "I once had girl...isn't it good, Norwegian wood."

A lady I used to know sang parts of that song from time to to time.
Her family were Swedes , but I never held that against her.

She was absolutely drop-dead , traffic-stopping beautiful , in an understated & very virtuous way. Lady could cook , too.
