Omega III Rifle stock

I have this stock which was sent with the Omega III rifle built back in around 1960's. This rifle had this stock and a laminated one. The rifle was stolen wearing the laminated stock. Does anyone know what other rifle this could be made to fit?

    Another Omega III? [}:)]

    Seriously, the Omega III is highly obscure. . .only a VERY small number were made, and my understanding is the company that made them ultimately bought back most of the ones it did make, fearing design liability.

    Because of the unusual design of the Omega III, I don't think this stock is going to fit many other rifles. (See here: http://tinyurl.com/nq8zlnj )

    On the other hand, a factory original non-laminated Omega III stock could be worth a pretty penny to someone who has one of the rare original guns without such a stock. So IMO, you're probably better trying to sell this stock rather than ruining it by trying to turn it into something its not.

    Hey, I just saw your post about having an Omega III stock. I was wondering what you would be looking to get for it, if it is still available? I just bought an Omega III and wouldn't mind having a spare stock if the price is reasonable. Please let me know, thanks.
