10/22 Solid Walnut Thumbhole Stock Teaser

[TRAP55]

With Boyds boycotting Calif for thumbhole .22 stocks, I asked Dave Monk if he would be interested in filling the gap for us. He primarily makes duplicates of classic Mauser Sporter stocks, so this was a little different.
Before you ask, he's working on a price list for solid wood and laminates.
I traded my laminate thumbhole to be used as a template for this Claro Walnut stock, tip and grip capped with Macassar Ebony. I should have it by the middle of next week. I have a little bit of finish inletting to do, and a lot of wet sanding with BLO. I'll post the "after" pics here when I get it done.

Very nice! Interested in his price list. Boyd's is missin' the boat via bad legal advice.

Very nice piece of wood. I've never seen the attraction of a thumbhole, but each to his own.

[TripleThreat]

Joe, ergonomics for one, giving better control on the trigger pull. On heavy hitter center fire rifles, it divides the recoil up between the shoulder and palm.

I can't wait for it to get here! Is it Wed yet?
