1903 duplicate stock

[ssgross]

I have a lonely Remington M1903...came with all correct parts and a perfect bore. Seller threw it in a CMP/boyds C-stock and did not bother to fit it...(one of the early stocks at least without a handgaurd ring groove cut for compatibility with an A3). The stock was at least straight, but very fat around the lower band, and so the handgaurd and under the forend were all chewed up from them pounding it down. I finished fitting the inlet, and it shoots great now..but I've been wanting a stock for a while. I had high hopes. I suppose I could cut the pistol grip off this cmp one, and do the finger grooves myself, but that would be a big undertaking and not at all worth it knowing there is sapwood under that spray tan.

Or, I could just get a NOS scant for it. At least I know it will fit properly, and would at least be correct as a field replacement.

buy the C stock with hand guard for $199.

If you are talking about the minelli C-stocks - I have fit several and the inletting is pretty good. I have issue with cheap wood, spray tan, and the very fat outer profile. I have a thread here somewhere with step-by-step review and fitting of one.
