    It’s worth doing, as it makes the rifle just so much more accurate…. Yeah right! Haha

    Makes absolutely no difference to how the thing works, but keeps my OCD under control

    Great stuff, I can handle the metallic parts no problem but me and wood just don't get on.

    wow you would need to know exactly what you need to achieve with shape, contours and size as once it's removed there's no going back, great looking piece of timber.

    Shaping is now completed, and on to finish sanding ready for the first coat of oil.

    Really happy with how it shaped up. These little actions make for a very slim light little rifle. Hopefully the photo of it next to the original plastic stock show the difference.
