Na just the one, It didnt take that long, it was just an experiment really with some bits of wood left over from fixing a window. It is basically glued together from two pieces (around the receiver), doing it like that means you can inlet the mag well and trigger on each side and then glue it together. The cutouts around the receiver are (were) really rough but it all gets filled up with epoxy anyway. I was going to make a more traditional style one as well, problem is I have only got Rimu and have not discovered a cheap source of more appropriate wood, this stock has a couple of layers of fibre glass betheen each joint to try and stop it splitting.

A good quality plywood may also be ok for a 22lr, itis easy to cut away layers with a craft knife and chisel

Well if you ever fedl like making a mk11 I would be very keen, I have wood work disorder, every piece of wood I touch turns into firewood at best

Had my JW15 some 45yrs,chopped to 14 inchs,niko stirling 3x9 on top.Great liitle shooter to 100yds with 22subs.Many bricks of ammo have been thru it.Shot a few possums and head shot a few roos with it.

The easiest bedding / inleting a stock that I have seen was a very simple plan. He got the original wooden stock and planed it down on the sides and base until it was square without touching the top. Then he inletted his new piece of wood for the stock to fit this nice square profiled piece of wood and glued the original inlet into his new stock. technically it is still "factory bedded" into an aftermarket (read home made) stock.......He had to do something as the original stock had been snapped and the only part that was any good was the piece around the action..
