this hole thing was for using also some leftover parts and my plan was to make a new stock by using a walnut stock blank. the gunmaker was working with the barreled action and for sending it to the proofhouse there was some kind of stock necessary. this old M 98 stock was there and he take it for this job. as you see it was changed one time before and so I was not very happy with this in the beginning but this changed when I had it at home than.
in the end it was a low budget project.
