Nice. I don't care for most plastic stocks, but I really like the Hogue I put on my 10/22, classic lines with a weather resistant grippy stock.

That English grip makes your gun have a unique profile. I like it.

BTW, I would have sanded out or cut off the barrel band part and left the barrel band off it. You gain a bit of accuracy without it.

The straight or "English" stock makes for a quick pointing rifle. It was used in, and still is, English cut fowling pieces, shotguns, for upland hunting. It points faster from port arms, slightly. But, the difference is minuscule compared to a modern shotgun IMHO. The look is a might unique, though. If you look at traditional SxS shotguns, old ones or expensive new ones like the new Savage branded, Connecticut arms manufactured Fox, they'll usually sport a straight stock. It ain't the old Winchester lever guns that started it.

I like those aftermarket M1 Carbine 10/22 conversions. If I had a blued 10/22, I might be tempted to dress it up as a M1 Carbine. But, I do have a .22 caliber M1 Carbine already...Chiappa.
