Maddog, nice rifle and furniture. I have a Milled Mak and was wanting to do the same thing.Few questions for ya. How does the hardware attach that suppose to come with the Stock set. Being the slant cut and all. .And did you do your own stock color.It looks pretty good. Im in middle ga. Macon area.What area are you in????? I was thinkg about getting the Iron W set and putting the metal buttplate on it like a type 56. How well did the upper and lower handguard go on? Any fitting? Did you put the metal hardware off the old stuff on the new upper and lower ?Any problems??? Was it going to be two hard to put the metal Ferral on the pistol grip? I see yours didn't have one. Im sorry for all the questions.Im about to do the same thing and just need to vent with someone that has done it. Nice rifle by the way, TIA WarDawg
