Repo Field Gear Collector
This stock obviously has issues but there is enough left to work with so I traded for it. When I first got it I didn’t look it over too hard, and just stuck it on the rack to fix later. I picked it up to look over recently and realized an action won’t drop down very far at all in it. Turns out all the critical fitting areas are oversized, nearly (.050) in some places. Compare it to another Menzel stock and you can see what the action fitters had to work with when assembling a rifle. Someone has stuck an action in it before as you can see, but you can believe one does not fit well in it! It’s proofed in the channel and unumbered as you might expect. It also lacks any external acceptance, and has a very sharply stamped blank supplier under the BP, which I haven’t been able to ID in the OKH codebook yet. It looks like I forgot a picture of that so I’ll have to snap one later. The next interesting part is that it’s duffle cut, this may very well have been picked up at the factory, who knows!
