Looks pretty good to me. I'm also having a hard time deciding on a stock. I like the simplicity of yours. But that attachment band for the butt piece may get in the way of your cheek-weld.

Is that solid aluminum, or a tube?

I like the profile of the breach following the gun frame, looks nice and chunky plus the shroud being held in place by the silencer. But I’ll go along with dogon regarding the band, I think you need to get rid of the corners, also a bit of padding on the butt plate but that’s me being picky.

Look forward to seeing the finished item.

Very nice. Thumb Up!
