you can use it for left hand.., I added a 1/2 inch piece of plastic between the stock and but pad for the extra LOP, make sure to glass bed it.

Hi FM Sniper,
Thanks for the info, I beleive you're rifles built on this stock was the ones that turned me on to this. Very nice work. Do you have to install the bolt handle a certain angle different with this stock compared to another? I have a VZ-24 action with a straight bolt and will have to fix that. Any hints or tips using this stock,would be appreciated. I have one of the Parker-Hale .308 Target barrels to use also. Thanks again!

So you just don't use that fugly upper part of the stock, or is there a separate stock? It looks really good like that, but could never bring myself to buy that stock as ugly as they are.

You can make thebolt swell how you want, here are a few more pics and

as far as using only the lower half, you do have to modify the stock.

Glass bed

cut off the screw holders and fill with bedding

modify for side safety

open barrel channel for heavy barrels

WOW!!! Thanks Sniper,I can see this is the way to go for me. Looks already like a fun project! I've built several FALS but this will be my first Mauser. With that Parker-Hale barrel and a Super Sniper scope I'm sure it will be bad to the bone!!! Thanks!

for texture I use car trunk paint and then paint over it, (trunk paint takes 24 hours to cure).

Sand stock first!!!!

try my Snake skin cammo design, I used the bottom metal of My sand blaster to spray the pattern

How much glass bedding stuff did u have to use per stock... seems like it would be a lot due to the large wells needing to be filled up. can you take some picks, birds eye view of the barrel sitting in the stock. seems like there is quite a gap from the side of the barrel to the stock.... I am new to glass bedding, but it seems like i need to buy quite a bit of it to fill this in. Im I wrong?

Thanks,
Dave

sounds like i am going to have a lot more work than you, due to my original barrel. A bull barrel would fill the gap i am expiriencing.
