It's not very often I would feel inclined to post a project stock in its own thread, but y'all have got to see this one. I picked it up this weekend from a friend in a BLM "project" rifle, I only looked at it in dim light and when I got it home I realized how good the stock was! It is duffle cut and unfortunately missing the fore end. I will build a forend out of matching figure walnut I have but I don't think I'll even attach it, just assemble it on a rifle and use the cleaning rod and bands to keep it together for now. Ok so it's a bsw Wa4 and nicely figured and untouched. The D/C end is raw and original looking, what I wouldn't give to have this rifle complete an assembled. A younger guy traded this to my friend, I think out of Kansas? Wish we had more info or possible leads on how this mix up of parts came to be, but it had a 237 1938 action in it. Any how I absolutely love this stock as I'm a sucker for nice figure and grain. To me this is like Beethoven's symphony no. 9 carved in walnut! Haha
