Yeah I understand the need for prints or hardware to model actions after.
But you stated:
I am also looking for a classic rifle stock (hunting type) with shadow line cheekpiece.

Anyone ever heard of building a .408 cheytac semi auto?
I would be nice to find a set of prints on that.
Thanks

Just drew a nice one up myself that I am going to machine as soon as I get a walnut blank in.
