I’ve got an NBK on the way for a hunting build. Need a stock for it. Ideally something along the lines of a Manners EH1 or McM Game Hunter. Likely using Hawkins Hunter M5 DBM.
I don’t mind having to bed the recoil lug, skim the inletting and maybe make some minor adjustments like sanding the barrel channel to make it fit just right, but don’t want to have to get crazy with a Dremel. I don’t have access to an end mill. The depth of the inletting top and bottom needs to be correct out of the box.
I see some companies make stocks inlet for Impact actions. I imagine these will drop right in. Then, of course most everybody makes a stock for a Rem clone. If I go with one of these, how much fitting work can I expect? Does the trigger hanger pose a problem or make a need for more adjustment to inletting? I’m trying to put this thing together without having to wait 6 months for a built to order stock. Anyone have good luck with a particular stock and an Impact action?
