With the fact that I used to do gunsmithing many years ago I've got unfinished projects that are sitting around I decided to pull one of them out of the safe and put a stock on it so it would be useful. If you've got a rifle that you don't like the stock on this is a great way to make it yours with a little customizing. A bolt action is one of the easiest ones you can do and my favorite actions are Mauser style. What you see is a Mauser VZ24 which we used to buy in lots fairly cheaply. This is what it looked like in full battle trim with a bayonet attached.
Here's the barreled action and the stock it's going into. It's a light weight .308 Winchester with a custom hinged floor plate trigger guard. The reciever was trued before the barrel was installed and the bolt is lapped in and trued for better engagement and accuracy. The barrel has also been hand lapped and needs a final lapping to satisfy me.

This pic is of the guides installed into the reciever so that you can align the trigger guard and the reciever as you install them into the stock. What you have to do first is inlet the trigger guard area and then work on inletting the reciever and barrel.
This is a pic of the stock I'm using and the barrel inleting tool needed to do the job easier. You can use sand paper like I did on the first 2 stocks I did but it takes a lot longer. These are scrapers that can take a lot more matereal than you think so you have to go slowly or you'll take more out than you want.
