Okay. I think I am going to make the leap (albeit a small leap @ $109) and buy one of these from Aim Surplus. I have read quite a bit and have decided that in the interim if I want to shoot a rifle, this is all I will be able to afford. As much as I admire the beauty of the original design it doesn't look practical. I want to change the stock to walnut or maybe composite right away. I may want to add a scope later as well but I understand this might pose some challenges. Anyone have any recommendations on a good quality stock that won't cost as much as the rifle and what are your thoughts on mounting a scope. Buy an off-the-shelf mount or have one made? Also, what's the best way to get Cosmoline off? Somewhere I read that gasoline will do it but what else?
Thanks,
GT
