[QUOTE="300R, post: 404261, member: 18858"] It's amazing what you can achieve when you just have a go!I attempted a similar thing a little while ago, i was desperate for a stock that fit me well and looked the goods, problem was i didn't have the cash after buying the rifle so i had a brain wave to modify the HS stock on it.I needed to extended the lop,the pistol grip and add a finger hook(i know what a fu$k#ng brain wave right!lightbulb).Who did i think i was?I drive a truck for a living!!!Anyway four afternoons in and what a mess!I thought i had bitten off more than i could chew,i got the ***** with it all one afternoon and smacked the butt of the stock where i had been working on with a hammer(now i mean i smacked the $u#k of it, all 102kgs of me) in disgust that i had ruined a perfectly good stock and i was gonna be stuck with a barreled action and no money to buy another one, well........ to my astonishment it didn't even chip or crack it ,not even a mark, so i sat down... had a beer and a laugh, looked at the stock and decided that if it survived that beating it was worth trying to finish no matter the result, story is it turned out better than i ever expected and it was hammer proof:D.Congratulations must go out to you again Kiwi,because i can only imagine what you went through, good on you mate. Here is a little pic of my brainwave.. [IMG]http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac346/338R/006-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac346/338R/005-1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
