[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2856915, member: 13284"] Thanks Todd. If the stock had been original USGI wood, I would have left it be and chalked it up to added character. This one was too nice to leave it be. I believe that it is likely a Italian Minelli manufactured stock. It has some attractive figuring in areas. The inletting at the tang and trigger guard areas was not so great. I triggerguard was so stuck that it had to be driven back out with a rubber mallet and wooden dowel...I was careful and luckily nothing was damaged. After a couple hours fitting the stock, she actually fits surprisingly well. My only complaint is that they made the toe of the buttstock slightly short so it has a small amount of buttplate overhang in that area. [/QUOTE]
