Not too shabby

Purchased replacement stock for 12 gauge a5. The walnut is surprisingly nice. I didnt expect as much. As for an old Belgian gun, its not exactly a drop in fit. Theres a considerable amount of hackin/shaving/dremeling to be done before it works. The forend proved to be a significant challenge as it needed shortening by a few thousandths and shaping to accommodate the receiver side. I will say that its a great starting BLANK. I would highly recommend being prepared with a hand full of tools: Dremel (reaming bits) Small hand files Stationary belt sander (cheek comb was too high for proper eye alignment over receiver) Multiple emery cloth grit selections and possibly an orbital sander. Its nice to have the extra material to make it fit each individual but its a lot of work. Images are of the current state. It still needs much finishing.
