If you set your pocket Z start height lower than the top of the stock, and the depth so it matches the bottom of the stock you will have your pocket.
You won't be able to machine it on a test run though without flipping the stock

Make a new set up on the back side of your stock.Then program the new pocket under the new setup. This method will even flip the verification, so that you have a realistic part on your screen. Don't forget to rotate the new set up 180° so that the Z axis is orintated the proper direction.
