Dude you're ####ing impressive.
Thanks for the kind words and approval gents. 
The balls for such a project came from years of building and finish carpentry. When you have to cut lumber that cost $$$$, weeks to get and can't be replaced....you learn the value of measure 15 times cut once and to think like a chess master (think every move out for the entire project before even making the first cut)
If anyone would like to see pictures from the whole project just let me know and I'll edit the OP.
You would be the 3rd
can't tell you
Completely hollow. Once the cut were made wind could pass right through it.
Funny, it's usually the women that say that.

Prepare yourself for years of CGNers asking you to do the same for theirs.

I used aluminum flat stock 1/8"x1" and cut it down to fit inside. The grip support had a point on it and the stock supports, 3 of them, were butt joints. The aluminum was initially held in place with a metal/plastic glue then filled with JB Weld before the polymer was heated and folded.
I'll post pics of this later today on the OP.
)....it looks very amazing !....

No it wouldnt have its no different in the eyes of the law here in canada...
that stock is due to a US requirement not a Canadian one.
Awsome job fireball. That really does make the rifle look better and it should handle better too even though I have to admit it was surprisingly decent even with the thumbhole.
So I think I know now why project build some gun racks for Epoxy7 always gets pushed back. Bugger.

The way it should have come from the factory:
Quoted... just for the ###y.
The only way to profitably do that would be to get a company like Robertson composite to manufature new ones from molds. Even then the numbers would have to be very high. Converting them takes too much time to be worth it comercially.
The SL8 I don't think is around in the numbers required especially woth new rifles now competing.
I thought of this a few years ago after seeing a few of these projects but it didn't look profitable. Firebal has a cool custom stock. That's difficult to make or buy. Which makes it even cooler.
