Bob, great project!!

Great caliber choice! {That one was my first choice, 9x57 second place for me.}

I like the idea of the rebuild incorporating the old bbl dimensions and parts, too.

Are you duplicating the original stock shape identically, or making some changes there?

I'm voting for a nice, tasteful, full Montecarlo rollover cheekpiece with a ventilated recoil pad and squarebase forearm with a backslant tip, with skipline checkering and whiteline spacers under the pad, forestock tip and deer antler bud grip cap.

Classically finished in highgloss epoxy of course!
