I think perhaps it is a thick-walled hollow stock. It sounded quite solid, but not quite.
Mine now has a solid wooden stock.
Before, and after. Not hard to see where they got the mould design from, for the "Blackline" stock.

Definitely hollow. Here's a look at the inletting. And the butt is definitely hollow. Saw it when installing an aftermarket buttpad. Can't complain though. It worked well enough. Then again, my 97 was set to 10.5fpe so it didn't really need a solid, heavy stock.

There ya go, Ivan showed it. I couldn't remember when I removed the plastic stock from my 97. It does not "FEEL" hollow or cheap when handled.

Lol. Daryl, you remind me an uncle who always gets my name wrong on family reunions. And yes, it does not feel hollow/cheap. :-)

Wouldn't have minded keeping it in the oem stock at all.

Some plastic stocks feel cheap - really thin sounding - tinny is the one way to explain the high pitched sound
they make.
The solid wooden stock's sound on discharge is more of a thump for sure.

Plastic stocks can not be solid because the melted plastic can do sink marks: Sink marks are small recesses or depressions in an otherwise flat and consistent surface of a molded part. These can occur when the inner part of a molded component shrinks, pulling material from the outside inward.

Sound: you can avoid that nasty sound of hollow plastic cube, inserting old rags pressed inside. Sometimes the sound varies depending on the % of fiberglass that the plastic has mixed.

Bye!
