Peter_HMR Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Unless you want a natural finish one way of doing it is getting the current stock and use the inletting on that and adding what you want eg high cheek comb target forend or hollowing it out. Only prob with this method is you'll have to paint it but a black or camo finish could come out well. Alot easier than starting from scratch and inletting can be tricky but if you have the skills the other would be a better option. Anyone made one and how did you go about it?

tiercel Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Anyone made one and how did you go about it? Well first you buy a Walnut, then you plant it. :yp: Tiercel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Well first you need a lump of Meat and boil it down in a pan. Remove the meat and you have a Perfect Meat stock :yp: To make a stock is a LONG process and if you haven't done it before can be quite labourious. First you need to find a nice bit of wood. If you using a Broken stock as a template then try and lash it together and draw round it on the wood. Use a good band saw and cut the wood but leave about 1/2" round the outline. Then carefully clamp it in a soft jaw vice and start cutting it to a rough shape using an Adze again make sure you don't go down too far. When you get the general shape and just need to take a few more mm off then use a sander till your almost there and finish by hand paying attention to detail and remember to use finer grades of paper to get a nice smooth finish. Then from there you will need to cut out the trigger hole etc. Then on to oiling. It CAN be a rewarding process i tried a few times but made a hash (they worked) but looked terrible.

MC Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I am going to make a new one for my .410. as the old one is cracked and a bit loose. I need to find a decent bit of walnut first. I do a series of posts once I get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cacciatore Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Forgot about this thread. Is there a difference between shotgun and rifle stocks? martin that would be fantastic. Are you experienced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Experienced? depends what in I am a bench joiner by trade with nearly 20 years experience so I suppose yes. I have got the necessary tools for the job, just need a decent piece of wood. There is a very good stockmaker who lives about a mile from me so I know where to go for advice.

Dunkield Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Search the BBS for the bloke that made a stock recently (last week or so) for his AS200.

pin Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 There is a lad called Paul who goes to one of the clay shoots I frequent, he's made a stock out of an old table leg for his beretta. Doesn't look that great but it fits him perfectly and does the business for him on the clays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Here you go, take your time looks pretty easy, the only hard bit I could see would be getting the inletting right: http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread...highlight=stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethevanman Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have a friend that works in the industry of carpentary and restoring old furnature and he chequered the stock of my airgun and made it adjustable in the means of making a clip on piece that you can take on and off.
