Gun Stock?

[Extreme Heat]

With all of the talent and contacts on either equipment or wood who out here is doing the gun stocks?

I dont know..... I think most of them are made of walnut though

I've made many stocks, for both shotguns and rifles. If I can help, feel free to PM.

Good luck,

Pete

that's a damn nice stock pete, how long does it take you to make one of those?

Depending on the complexity of the checkering pattern, the complexity of the metal pieces (flush swivel studs, skeleton grip caps, etc) and whether I shape it from the blank, or send it out for a semi-inlet job... anywhere from 60 to 200 hours including all the inletting and a nice oil finish, plus sighting it in before delivery.

Hard question to answer.

Here are a couple in progress shots of another pre-64 with nicer wood and a full wrap checkering pattern.

I carve Gun Stocks

I carve a few gunstocks... Here's a couple I made last fall. The first one is a laminated varmint stock on a Remington .222 Varmint rifle. It's made from birdseye maple, wild cherry and black walnut. The next one is a thumbhole stock on a Ruger 10/22, made from English walnut, sugar maple, and black walnut.
