    I'd love to see a 55 rehomed in a heavier, more substantial FWB300 / Diana 75 etc stylee match stock. When I acquired mine in late 2012 from a very nice BBS member I was really surprised how light it felt and how slim proportioned it is. Thinking logically, bring very similar in action to the 50, I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was. Maybe a possible idea for anyone with a damaged stock?

    That Custom Match sounds cool.

    I think a couple of versions of a revamped, standard stroke 55, one with full match style stock, would be lovely.

    Plus a long stroke version in a 85 style stock.
