Hi,
Have been looking for a stock for my Diana Mod 25 .22 for a long time with no success, finally i decided to do one on my own.
I picked up a walnut blank from a friend all it had was the main groove and just the cut out.
After working on it for almost a month - here is the final result after 3 coats of polish, still need to do a little finishing on some rough surfaces, final fitting and accessories need to go on.

Apologies on the bad images - taken with my mobile.

Thanks Guys,
Checkering yes but maybe later, i think i shall try it myself - looking for the tools as of now.

Chitapure - I did it myself - all you need are 3 - 4 different sized chisels and lots of time :-)

It looks like a lot of hard work went into that stock.
Good job Sniper.

FF - yes sure will take pics of it and upload. - it came out very crude - the mating seems fine but the finish needs to be worked on.

XL - thank you.
