Guess what........ I'm with BP here. I'm not a betting man but to be really, truly honest and frank, I'd say that that aluminium stock was someones idea of fixing up his rifle when he broke the original! It just doesn't look like something that would have been submitted for trials to replace the real McCoy. Being honest again, I'd say that it was made by a little boy, probably about 8 or 9, who wanted to play with an old busted rifle that he found in his grandpa's shed.

I could be wrong of course and others might disagree with my theory.........
