After a little clean it doesn’t look too bad but feels something is missing

So I dig some holes on the timber copy from another Mauser…

May need trim the corners a little bit to be exact

I love your $200 rifles. I bet you that any new mega dollar picatinny everything, plastic hunting rifle will fail long before yours even starts to took tired, let alone stops shooting.

Nice job on the stock! Though one can also like the original FN stock without the sling arrangement.

Interestingly those Mauser FN can be good shooters sometimes.

Mine, despite a terrible trigger and a very basic x4 scope, did that at 100m at the first 10 shot group attempt.

Hornady ELD M 155 grains behind 57.5 grains of 2209.
I am sure it would get better with a few more gos at it.
