Stock building guys

[Buck-N-Rut]

I have a stock of a gun that I got from my grandad. He passed away about 5 months ago. I believe it is a stock for a browning A Bolt. However I don't know what caliber. The stock is a factory stock but he added the face plate to the butt which is built out of Walnut. My question is, can I buy just the parts to put this rifle together? How can I figure out what caliber I can put together? I really have no clue. Is there Browning A bolt replica actions that I could use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where is Cajun Blake?

Definitely looks like a BRN a-bolt

The left side of stock (rear where action sits) has the oval inletting for the bolt release

Measure the inletted area where the magazine box fits to determine long vs. short action

You can build any caliber that is compatible with the action length

Barrel channel will dictate barrel contour

If you wanna build off it , you will need an action, barrel , bottom metal, mag box and follower , etc...

In all my years , I've never seen an Abolt action for sale

You'll likely have to buy a used rifle and drop it in your stock

That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks Cajun Blake.

Also , the stock was originally a classic design

You're grandpa added the cheek piece to make it like a "hunter stock"

I didn't even know it was an add on piece until I took it to a gun guy today and he pointed it out. I just never looked that close.
