I finally received my solid Walnut Mak 90 pistol grip stock today from Wes at Soupbowl Enterprises. It took a little longer to get here than I expected but Wes had called to explain the slight delay and I don't mind waiting for quality. It cost me $90. plus $7. shipping.

I put the stock on with no problems. I was extra careful to not "bully" the upper handguard onto the gas piston tube as I've had cheap Chinese upper handguards break on me doing that. The firearm looks absolutley superb!

2 things deserve mentioning.
First, I was concerned the pistol grip might be too small or skinny but was pleasantly surprised to find it was meaty and wider than the cheap plastic ones sold. I can really grip the pistol grip nicely. Secondly, Wes put a metal plate on the end of the buttstock with the little hole and hinged door so I can store my cleaning kit there just like the original. The fit is great, the finish superb, I'd recommend his stocks to anyone.

On pictures..........I don't know of a place I can post any picture to link to here. I used to post pics on Photo...? or Photo....? but they all seem to either be out of business or not to work anymore. I can post a picture if someone can tell me how. It is a sharp looking firearm.

OK, someone is going to let me use their knowledge and web page to try to post a picture of the new stock. I'll try to have a picture posted here in the next few days to a week. OBTW, I had to change over the fireparts and the gas piston to "made in the USA" parts to comply with the BATF crap regulations on pistol grip stocks.

Thanks. I have heard people rave about Soupbowl stocks, but have not seen any yet.

These aren't the Ironwood stocks are they?
