Only in one of them special churches like in las vagas...

Id be more tempted to make a skellington stock out of the wooden one first...

Difficult to say for sure how well they would marry up without seeing them in the flesh.

I'm sure you could come up with something with a few decent tools. Silkaflex is a great bonding agent. Perhaps you could bridge the joint as well with some shaped wood or ply or have something running through both parts to add strength...

Silkaflex also makes an excellent bedding material for the action..

What is the butt half made from?

Says polymer on the listing

Looks like you would need a part machined to go on the back of your receiver to accept a bolt going through the stock.. the front part.. im assuming will be one or two screws... bonding them together might mean you cant remove the action from the stock... watch you dont fall foul of length/power and end up with a s5

If the pistol grip on the polymer stock is hollow, then the grip on the wooden stock could be reshaped to form a spur which would then slot tightly into the polymer grip. It's a one way trip though, and very tricky, to much taken off and the Thumbhole stock is history. I certainly wouldn't rely on a glued butt joint of any kind. A tightly fitted spur set into the polymer would be the only successful way IMO . The spur would need to be bedded into the polymer 'socket' and secured with a bolt of some kind up through the bottom of the grip.

I did just that when I fitted part of a wooden rifle stock to a Twinmaster trainer pistol. That was very successful.

Personally, I'd run it around to my local engineering shop and have a chat to them. Its surprising what idea's these guys can come up with. Might only cost you a few quid for them to spin something up. I've had a few special tools made up by popping around and having a chat, maybe it could work for you?

[CLASH]

Got some good ideas cheers guys

Difficult to be sure out of hand but my first attempt would consider a secure fix base into the poly pistol grip e.g. bond wood or metal threaded plug say 2/3
depth. Then form or attach a short spigot at the wooden pistol grip. Drill and screw down through the wooden stock under the action with recessed
screw head. Fill, smooth, colour, over to obscure screw head. Refit action as normal.
No visible joins or means of support. Nice project/challenge. Keep us informed.
Dim but willing.

Anythings possible ......well almost
