• said forehand portion having a plurality of fins with a U-shaped recess for cupping and supporting the barrel in the depression, said forehand portion having a base upon which is seated a removable shoe with a U-shaped recess for cupping and supporting the barrel in the depression, said fins and base notched to provide a channel for a firing rod,
• said forehand portion having pistol grip attached to its lower side a distance from the butt such that a user can support the gunstock gripping the pistol grip with one hand and placing the butt of the gunstock against the shoulder of the same arm,
• said forehand portion having a first aperture on the lower side for mounting the trigger assembly immediately in front of the pistol grip whereby a forefinger of the hand gripping the pistol grip and supporting the gunstock may be utilized to actuate a trigger in the trigger assembly,
• said forehand portion having a second aperture on the lower side between the butt and the pistol grip to accommodate a clip fed magazine,
• said firing rod having a first end for connection to the finger on the upper end of the trigger and a second end with an upstanding finger for releasing the sear mechanism,
• whereby the barrel and breech mechanism and the trigger assembly may be unscrewed from the original stock and mounted on the replacement gunstock with the original screws, said upstanding finger on the firing rod releasing the sear mechanism and firing the firearm in response to movement of the trigger.
