Re: My New Model 8 Needs Some Wood
Remington stocks are really not interchangeable, the usually do not fit just right. I would get a new stock from Macon Gunstocks or fit a Browning auto five stock. If you are going to use the time to fit a stock I get a higher grade wood. For the same amount of work you end up with a more attractive finished product.
