Does anybody know what the action is based on? I'm wondering what current commercial stock blank could be used to get started with the inletting.
Thanks

I have one, the barreled action was made in Spain.

I was able to pick up a synthetic stock on eBay a while back, you may want to keep an eye out.

If there are any measurements you need I would be glad to take them for you, I still have the original maple stock.

hi rusty,

the action its own. it is round. you might be able to adapt a remington stock to create a pattern.

Thank you, both. Recoil Rob, What's the OD of the action? and how long from the barrel face to the front of the bolt handle? That will give me a rough estimate of what I can start with. Then to decide if I want to buy a barreled action to play with.

Thanks again.

Rusty, will get back to you with that today or tomorrow.

Here you go, it's a piece of pipe with a 1.178" O.D.

From the front of the receiver back to the front of the bolt handle cutout is 6-3/8".

On the left side the receiver is 6-3/4" long

The barrel octagon is 1" across.

The mounting block that is dovetailed into the bottom of the receiver hangs down 9/16"fro the bottom of the receiver, is 5/8" wide and 1-1/8" long.
