Teal & Blueprinted,
Thanks for your replies.
The blue McSwirly looks very nice, much like what I had in mind...just a different recipe of colors.
And thanks for the insight into what it would take to adapt a mini-mauser inletted stock. I might try that if I find a suitable project gun. As I indicated to Safariman, I think my wife has adopted this one.
Again, many thanks. --wil--
