Sure. Go to a woodworking store. They have all the finishes, tools, and wood you will need. I needed to fill in the two storage holes in the stock for stability. I got a length of Walnut dowel material and wood glued them in place. Strong and permanent. Cover the stock with masking tape. This will protect the wood and allow you to make accurate measurements with a pencil. I used a hand held saw used for intricate woodworking jobs. Cut slow and check your alignment constantly. I cut 1.5" down and about 4" across. The arms are stainless steel bolts that are threaded into the cheek piece. Always tap threads, even in wood and use lock tight red.  I used a steel threaded insert in the stock for an allen bolt to lock onto the rear bolt for height adjustment. It folds down to stock height and up to 1.5" higher than stock, which is the difference in height between my iron sights and my scope center, 1.5" inches. I use Birchwood/Casey Tru-Oil gun stock finish. This is the best stuff I have ever used. After using files and sandpaper on the wood, you drip this on the wood and spread with your hand. Let dry and it is stained, waxed, and ready for use. After all the work you will be amazed how cool your rifle is and how glad you did it.
