Sudoko, my photobucket pics no longer work here. Here's a few pics of the stock as it was when I first got it. Deep tool marks going in all directions but it's hard to see in some of the pics. I'm not complaining for what I gave for it but after I started working on it I would have paid anybody's price to finish it out but nobody would touch it. This is a stock for my G 33/40 Mauser and the woman at Richard's called me and asked me to verify the trigger guard length as the 33/40 uses a different guard from a standard 98. Also they do not offer full inletting for the barrel channel on a 33/40 so the barrel channel is a half inch all the way down. I probably should have started with that but I figure if I mess that up it will be easier to fix. They were very nice and easy to work with so it's all on me. I've never worked with maple before and I've heard it described as a semi hard wood but all I've ever really dealt with is walnut and walnut is super, super soft compared to this stuff.
