Growing up I feel like there was an almost endless selection of parts, stock blanks and articles related to modifying Mausers and Springfields into fine sporting rifles. As interest has shifted to black guns, not only is the parts market for building fine bolt guns vanishing but the knowledge is as well. I wanted to poll the audience and see where people were sourcing things like extended bottom metal for magnum mauser builds (i can think of sunnyhill and swift) and stock patterns to accommodate a beefy magnum build with said extended magazines (i dont know who cuts a stock like this anymore). Also would be interested in articles/books people might suggest on topics like extending magazine boxes, adding square bridges, lengthening actions, fabricating quarter ribs etc etc. Duane Wiebe still produces his great booklet on action modifications but im not aware of much else out there. Thanks to all and best
