We have seen that butt stock style(?) before. It was on a reworked rifle done by Savage Services. No old straight grip stocks available so they had cut the pistol grip off of an EG stock and used it. That is why I wanted to know what butt plate was on it.

I don't know the history of this rifle butt but that stock sure reminds me of that Savage Services stock modification.


I defer to you, but boy that's a horrible job of cutting the bottom straight. It looks like something I'd end up with.

I ran into that problem years ago. Some (maybe not all?) of the pistol grip stocks don't lend themselves well to being turned into straight grip stocks. The geometry of the PG stock is such that that "dip" just can't be avoided....unless you whittled it down to a much shorter heel to toe measurement. That would look even worse.
