You may need to do some fine sanding to make sure your barrel is free-floating, but mine was fine.

The barrel channel is extra deep, decreasing weight and ensuring a free floating barrel.

Precise inletting and a deep barrel channel on the Pro Varmint. I found I had to relieve a couple millimetres of material where the recoil lug sits, which was not a big deal at all. Obviously there is variation in rifles, probably more so in Norinco’s case, so yours may require some extra finishing. The inletting is good and is done to Boyds’ house action. It’s also better suited to the average New Zealander’s length of pull. plastic) stock the JW-15S comes in and makes it feel less like a toy and more like a real rifle.
The stock is much heavier and more solid than the synthetic (i.e. Standard features include a sling stud under the base of the butt and two studs towards the front of the fore-end, one of these obviously for mounting attachments such as a bipod. Visually, the stock is outstanding and I love the look. However, the black textured paint isn’t my cup of tea, so I opted to pay an extra US$15 to go for the Pepper Laminate instead. While the Barracuda and SS Evolution are popular rimfire gun stocks that you can see on most ranges, strapped to a Ruger 10-22, the design I like most for the relatively long barrel on my JW-15 is the Pro Varmint, which seems to be the same stock the Savage Mark II TR sports. Of course, the amount of money you could spend customising a JW-15 is probably about the same cost as buying a much better rifle – but where’s the fun in that?
Some of the designs are the same ones that much more expensive rimfire rifles come in, such as Savage’s Mark II BSEV and BTVS. However, since then the good guys at Boyds have increased their range (as they always seem to be doing) and the JW-15 now has 5 different designs available. This is what got me into building my own stocks, which I’ve done a couple of.
When I first started working on JW-15s Boyds didn’t have anything available for them. For one of my rimfire project rifles it was a combination of improving the fit to my body, as well as increasing the aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s replacing a boring factory stock, modifying a sporterised milsurp rifle or finding a better fit for your shooting, there’s usually an option from Boyds that will fit the bill. Boyds gun stocks have long been a way for shooters to improve their favourite rifles.
