Terry Wieland's approach for the stock on his "hen-house" Reilly:

Quote:
A year later, the motor oil has been patiently coaxed out of the wood, and the dents and dings steamed out. Underneath we found a piece of French walnut that is one of the finest gunstocks I have ever seen anywhere. It is breathtaking. The stock has been bent to cast-off and lengthened with hard black German rubber, which looks and acts like the finest ebony and is checkered accordingly. The stock took my measurements and held them perfectly.
