I'm wondering if there is a cheaper alternative. The stock that I currently have on it is a cheap wooden sports stock. The barrel is far from floating...it's actually pressed into the stock.
I love this rifle, and would like to both improve its looks and accuracy. Would it be cheaper to buy a new sports stock and bed it?
Cheaper than a military? Most likely, you are looking at the prices. Military parts, cost-wise,whether it be stocks,bolts, bayonets, have gone thru the roof. You are not going to get away cheap. Depending on what other parts were altered or missing on your rifle, a retro fit to something resembling a military rifle will be expensive. I would work on the stock you have now, removing some wood from the barrel channel, and possibly glass bedding the receiver. What kind of sights does it have now?
I has had its iron sights removed and has its receiver drilled for a scope. This will make it impossible to me "original" again, and I realize that. I'm just looking to make it a bit more accurate and improve its looks slightly...
The current stock is so crude that the wood on each side of the barrel is a different width. I'm thinking that Cabelas stock might help, and then have someone bed that receiver.
