    I've also fitted a Choate folding stock designed for an M1 carbine. It wasn't too hard to do.
    Pics please?

    Considered one for a minute. Chiappa has a horrible quality control reputation, and at that price trusted my gut especially after reading your post.

    Fitting the stock involved accommodating the charging handle and the block it attaches too. After I did that I puzzled over why it wouldn't fit for a little while, then I realized there was a tiny bit I had to remove from inside the stock just in front of the mag well.

    It didn't take me an hour to do.

    It would have been easier to fit a wooden stock I think, because the material this stock is made of was hard to cut with just about every tool I tried except a sharp new dremel router bit.

    A para stock was what I really wanted, but at this price, I couldn't resist.

    Heyy, that lookz really good. Imagine a Wood Para tropper {if can be found} can work as easily. So, basically the verdict is still Hit n' Miss... basically worth it if you get one for under $400... with a little tinkering to no known issues..? lol if that exists..? Great Concept, someone needz to give Chiappa a swift kick in the QC.

    No problemo!

    And my thanks to 220 for the info about rimfire rings. I wasn't sure if they were those European 11mm rails....

    And I agree about the Mec Gar mags. They are great.
