i know where the mishaps are, but all in all, i go from a bad stock(water damage, bent to the left on rifle channel...) to a good one.

Nice job. Find some bullets and shoot it. If you can't find any, LMK caliber, I probably have some I can spare.

Thats a nice looking stock. You brought out figure in the wood just right. I think you did a great job on it.

Nice job! I'm guessing you're a 'southpaw' shooter?
