jason.....First off, great looking rifle you have there. I have a couple of questions for you. Did you use an old Mauser for your action? How much work did you have to do to get the stock to fit well? How much to do you have into your project? I'm curious because I've been thinking about doing a very similar project. I want a Richard's stock, Mauser action, but in .257 roberts or 6.55x55.
