Title: stock identification ??
Post by: Robs5230 on September 12, 2020, 12:20:40 PM
Can anyone identify this mk2 stock ?
Looks like a CS1000 but without the thumbhole.

Cheers

That's a FT Mk1 laminated stock .. I'm almost 99% certain of that.

I have an ft early block not mk2 and mine is laminate wonder if someone has copied it? I saw one that Warren Edward's copied? Or maybe the mk2 ft had walnut not laminate?

Well its walnut alright, and a none too shabby piece of walnut at that.
Its also the best fitting rapid stock I've ever shouldered.

Its a real shame it doesn't have the mk4 trigger, but looks like I'll have to get used to the mk2 sporter trigger
