So after 3 years (took a little break) I finally finished my new stock for my FCNS 111 in 270 WSM. I went with a Richards Microfit stock and had to do a lot of work (what took the longest time was figuring out how to tackle problems, then getting the equipment to fix the problems), but I'm very satisfied with the results. I would order another one from Richards (since I now should have all the stuff to tackle any future problems), the next one shouldn't take any time at all (hopefully).

Here is what I started with:

Richards Marksman style stock in Brown/Brown laminate








I sanded it down, hit it with a little dark walnut stain, finished it with Minwax Antique Oil Finish (about 12 coats), added pillars, and bedded the action.
