Kooky rules.
Maybe you could buy a 54.18 MS stock and start "removing" material from it until it looks sufficently like a Hunter stock so that it would meet the letter of the law as far as NRA tech is concerned. (Don't actually try this, I'm only joking).
Seriously, I think that the "attachment" rule was originally intended for items like bolt on cheekpieces, hand rests, gyroscopes, GPS systems, etc.
It would be a travesty (sp?) to reject one stock which is shaped identically to another simply because of it's means of construction. Pure Wackyness.
My 2 cents.

Don't take this the wrong way guys, but it doesn't mean much how a few people (me included) on this forum feel about a rule. If you agree to shoot in an NRA registered match or tournament, you agree to do it by their current set of rules. If you disagree with a rule, then you can lobby to get it changed. Until it changes, you have to abide by it. That's probably for the best, too. I don't want to be involved in a slapfight like happened with the PCP airguns this past year.

Write to the committee and tell them your opinion of the rule as it exists. I have.
However, let me suggest this:
When you write, give them a working rule that they can use to replace the one that is currently in place. (And make sure that it really does work -- and that it doesn't cause unforeseen problems elsewhere.)
Anyone can complain but if you're trying to help, you have to contribute...
IIRC, I suggested something like this:
Material added to the grip, cheekpiece or comb in order to improve the fit or handling characteristics of the rifle shall not be considered an 'attachment' and disallowed. This does NOT, however, permit any violation of that part of the rules that requires the rifle to 'look like a hunting rifle'.
It didn't fly...
