Very nice. Didn't know there was anyone that even made a new wood stock for them.

 

[ArmyZach]

New stock made it in from Boyd's.
I'm happy.

That looks like a pretty nice stock, especially for the price.

WOW!! I am looking forward to seeing this done. I didn't know you were shortening the barrel.

Darned nice stock!

Here are mock up pictures.
I have to touch up blueing, bedding, then final assembly.
It feels balanced (balance point is at the magazine hinge pin), and cheek weld is good with the low scope mount.

This looks really good. I have a mosin that I refinished that I have not even shot yet.

You gonna put a turned bolt knob on there and move the scope back?

No. The scout scope works where it is, and it allows the use of stripper clips.

THANKS! I didn't know someone made these. Just bought a hex today. I see walnut and jmeck scope mount in store for this one.
