Hey guys,
This has been an on and off project for me since I got this finnish m/n about 5 years ago. I absolutely hate the look and feel of the original stocks and the aftermarket stuff looks even worse, IMO.
I saw a couple of the finnish target/sniper system stocks and I really like the modern, ergonomic look, and no external magazine showing either!
Here's my progress so far.

I've been using only hand tools for this, as most of my work is when the kids have gone to sleep and I don't want to wake them with power tools. Plus, it's easier to keep from taking off too much wood if you're using hand tools.
List of tools used so far: Brace and bit, hand saw, chisels, gouges, files, cabinetmakers rasp, rasp, lamp for soot (inletting)
P.S. I kindof cheated by using the lathe to make an inletting screw to orient the action, but all wood has been removed with hand tools.
