[QUOTE="azbruce, post: 2720254, member: 15862"] About 30 years ago I completed the same project. I bought a barreled Siamese action in 45/70 at a gun show. At that time there was a company called Brown Precision that made a Kevlar stock blank they called the one pounder. It was raw, right out of the mold. It was made for a standard Mauser action and when it arrived the front action screw was all that lined up. I spent a fair amount of time and Brownells AcraGel reconfiguring the blank, and while it really wasn’t difficult it did take some time. In the end it turned out beautifully, and that rifle was a real thumper. If you have a small bit of skill and are not in a hurry you should be able to buy a Mauser stock and rework it yourself. If you could even find a stockmaker or gunsmith that would do it they’re going to charge you a fortune for labor. [/QUOTE]
