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.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

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.
