Remington Model 788
My father has a Remington Model 788 in .308 cal he bought new years ago. When I was 12 he had cut the stock down to fit me for hunting. Now that I am full size he would like to use the rifle again but we are having trouble finding a replacement stock. I would also like to find a replacement magazine since we lost the original. Can anyone tell me where I can find these items.
Thanks |

If Bob doesn't have it I bet he knows where he can get it.

Geoman458, is that 6mm magazine you bought a factory one? I've never been able to find a 6mm mag for one. You can order one from Remington in any caliber but 6mm. At least that's the way it used to be.
