New stock on my Hatsan 125 Vortex

Greetings all,
I have always been a sucker for the traditional hardwood stocks on my firearms and airguns, as well, so when I recently purchased a Hatsan 125 Vortex in .25, I already had it in mind that I was going to drop my 125 into my 135 carnivore hardwood stock. Everything seems to fit perfectly fine and I really love the look.
Initially I did a Google search for hardwood stocks for the 125 and came upon a seller on eBay who had a hardwood stock that was for a 125 but when I received it, it didn't fit because the two holes at the fore end where you would lock down the gun to the stock were a little too far up ahead, maybe by about a half inch or so. My only other option was to drop it into my 135 carnivore stock.
Everything seems to fit in place perfectly fine but I have yet to fire it to see how everything holds up, so hopefully I don't have any issues.
For anyone out there who is thinking about making this conversion, here are a few before and after pics so you have an idea of what things will look like. Enjoy!

I like refinishing the Hatsan Turkish walnut stocks! They seem to have 3 layers of sealers/stains on them to get the tone they have? I shortened, stripped, sanded it & put some 5 layers of B/C Tru-Oil on it and got a lot of beautiful grain figuring from the Turkish Walnut. I also used my checkering tools to sharpen up the checkering a bit. The model 95 stock had the forestock mounting holes to far forward and down to match the Striker barreled action. I know now I should've just made a pair of brackets to screw the barrel to the forestock instead of trying to relocate the holes. Holes would be too close to the upper edge of the forestock area. Gotta finish that yet.

Hatsan wood stocks are pretty nice.
Sometimes I think they are nicer than the guns...
