I tried talking myself out of it. Its been on my mind since I got the gun last year. But, boy is it nice. Really adds a lot to the character and feel of the gun. I was surprised it is almost identical in weight, maybe even lighter than the factory stock. Also, the stock does look significantly better in person. I really like the finish they used, though I had my doubts. The walnut looks the way it should when the light hits it from the right angle.
