    Certainly was an odd shape in the pistol grip area....it was square ....then again it is a 'square head' stock , a little touch with wood file etc and its now more comfy.

    It looks like you have nice grain on that stock. How are you going to finish it? Will you use a dark stain for the stippled areas or will you leave them unstained?

    Oiled finish,stipple area will just be the same as I'm not keen on that 'dark/black' stained stipple effect....grain is very nice on this stock and I didn't get conned into paying more for it

    Perhaps controversially I prefer the fisthole stock. Not prettier than the sported I originally had but suits/fits me better. Mine now has a Bisley adjustable butt pad and the cheek piece is also adjustable. It deserves a strip and reoil.
    Keep up the good work on yours.

    Mine had the sporting stock originally but I found the pistol grip area too fat and square, so having had a cs800 stock before (aa410) I thought I'd try a cs500 but again I find the grip to fat albeit somewhat less square....then this stock came up on here t'other week so thought I'd give the old fisthole a try.....alas the grip was the same as the sporter stock.
    Anyway a quick fettle with wood files etc and the grip is now slimmer and not square,obviously taking out the wood took out the stipple hence the dremmel which I got kind of carried away with!,....to the point that I asked the wife if she wanted one of them african type 'scar' tattoos but she declined.
