I love the look also, but how on earth do you clean the bolt then? Remove the receiver? That would be a serious PITA especially considering the stock would end up costing at least 2x what a new Mk II costs.

I'm considering starting a new build around a stock like this one: http://www.troupsystems.com/rimfire%20para%20stocks.htm Looks like it would be pretty straightforard to make: get a nice piece of 2"x2" wood, a router, and a drill press. I'm thinking of using a Savage 64F or Marlin 795 as a base for the build.
