    CSP is what you make it.

    I think Sarco used to sell them. Nothing wrong for shooting, but the Scant, in my opinion, deserves its' nickname of "warthog".

          local gun shop has one of these, the stocks were mint before they built these, what a waste.

            Rick, you left off the A10 in front of "warthog". I as you know, consider that a compliment of the scant.

              Like the A-10, very functional but far from pretty!!

              (P.S. The A-10 is one of my favorite "modern" aircraft)

                Ah, in the eyes of the beholder,Lol.

                A10, the modern day version of my favorite, the P-47 Thunderbolt.

                  If the P-47 is the finger groove stock,then I don't have a problem with the scant stock Corsair,or the P38.They are what they are!

                    While I would agree that the scant stock is not very attractive, it is way more desirable as a shooter than is the older straight stock.

                      Some day these stocks will be worth allot of money! Doubt that? The whole 1903 rifle once sold for 35-40 bucks and no, inflation does not make that 7-800 to-day. They are ugly tho!

                        The Scant is the same as a "C" Stock except for the bottom of the pistol grip - same nice, high comb, much more comfortable to shoot than any stock except the "C". But, like Rodney Dangerfield, it "don't get no respect". Shoot one for a while and your attitude toward it might just improve..... CC

                        PS - Particularly if you shoot a straight grip "S" Stock next to it. No comparison. The higher comb/reduced drop makes a huge difference. "Warthog" is unfair. Pretty is as pretty shoots..... CC
