Fielder Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) As some of you may have seen i'm fairly new to shooting, took the pump to my first 100 clay shoot today (big thanks to peteherts form here for the invite) and an instructor pointed out my stock comb was a little low effecting my view down the barrel, Using some card and imagination he made me a temporary fix, I'm now looking for a more solid solution, problem is the synthetic stock is hollow so i don't think i can make a cut into it to to make a raised piece. Any suggestions or am i better off getting a new stock? Edited September 15, 2013 by Fielder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with those is, although you are raising the combe slightly, you're also adding cast off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) They are normally glued on. If you go down that road - glue it on and grind it down to fit. If you like the gun and want to keep it - I would be looking around for a wooden stock, which could easily be sprayed. There are usually plenty available - obviously depending on the model. With pumps or autos, you can normally use one from another make with little problem. I bought a Franchi stock for £15, as a spare for my grandson's Hatsan - so I could later fit that with an adjustable comb.. On that basis, you could buy a stock and make it adjustable for less than £50 (that includes the stock and mechanism), if you are reasonably handy - in the DIY aspect.

Ah yes, were you there today as well? Does anyone know approx how much a gunsmiths would charge to make a wooden stock adjustable? i'm fairly handy (have built the odd car and motorbike etc) but i'm also very busy and a bit lazy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
