Reviving this thread firstly to thank Gabe for all the effort he has taken to pass this info along, as well as the input from JR. Very valuable and results in more hand scribbled pages being added to my expanding notes on stockmaking info.

Also needed to actually reply to this thread to make it easier to find again for referencing later! Took me a long time with many thread distractions along the way to find the exact link I was looking for this time!!

Gabe, I might even actually bring this current mauser stock it for critiquing asI believe it's my best work to date.
