Thanks to a couple of board members, I now have this.

The LOP and angle are identical to the original 56 stock.

Hope you like it.

Nice work, Charles Is that a VZ58 PG or scratch built? What stain did you use? And details on the slant comp

 

[CharlesT]

Thanks.

The Pistol Grip is made from the remainder of the butt stock from the donor stock laminated to 1/2" Baltic Birch plywood.

The compensator is a cut down from an NCStar bolt on brake from Fab Sports.

Fabulous job. Looks like a commercial offering.
Your custom work is always first class.

I see. I will find out how it is later this weekend. I have a plan for a cheek piece but I don't want to implement it as I really like the look as it is.
