Is it just me or do the stocks all look like the angles of the levers won't work from one to the next if you swap the stocks?

Good eye, certainly does look like the only full stock that would fit is the DLX model !!
I'll head downstairs and confirm it will fit in a bit.
Any idea what a replacement stock is worth and if they're available? A full size stock would definitely get me more interested in these guns.
I've been looking too, found nothing so far...
just gonna plant this little seed in your brain...

Not sure if North Sylva has them on order...
Could give SFRC a call and ask if they have any info 613-372-2662
North Sylva claimed to have the pistol grip stock that the Bandit Bootleg's use on order and expected with their next shipment when ever that is.... I would guess they should be here in the spring.
Here's the thread they mention the pistol grip plain stock in,

What kind of dovetail rail - Picatinny adapters are people running on their booty bandits?
I had a 3D printed rail but it’s just not holding up well enough. Not sure if it’s a bad print or bad design.
I’ve also tried an aluminium dovetail adapter but because of the convex top on the booty dovetail, it didn’t fit well.
I’m not overly keen on grinding the receiver if it can be avoided.
I will probably go back and epoxy the 3D printed option in place if nothing else, but was hoping for another avenue!

Before I filled the top flat on mine I was using a BKL mount which fits fine but sits pretty high.
I much prefer the lower profile rail adapter and the flat top modification to the Booty Bandit.

I bought a pair of those because the arch looked like it would clear.... and it does. But the angle of the clamping surface and the thickness does not match the angle of the dovetail that Cheeeapass cut into these guns. The mounts could likely be carefully modifed by hand to match the angles better but it would be harder skill wise and take more time then simply filing the top flat like I did.
The best part of filing the top flat is now any standard 3/8 sized rimfire mounts will work.
