I looked all over the forum to see if there was an appropriate place for this but maybe it fits here after all.
Since I am not selling it does not seem to fit in that section and I could not find a 'want to buy' gate.
Anyway, I have enough parts taken off other guns that I modded into something else that I can build a complete rifle (actually, I will have parts left over even then... how many of you are in the same situation? There's an idea, everyone contribute parts and build a Frankenrod to give away at the next raffle, haha).
I did have to order a complete screw set, o-ring set and a trigger pac but I had everything else.
I have considered just making a skeleton stock and cobble up a housing for trigger with an AR grip but I thought that someone here might have an unused/unwanted wood stock they would give to a fellow airgunner or let go reasonable. I found one for 50.00 but since I know there are lots of stocks sitting in corners that is way too much.
Of course I will pay for reasonable shipping if it's not from the other side of the planet like at West Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands {actually a BEAUTIFUL place but it was a LONG sailing trip to get from Galveston to there}

Wow, I thought somebody might have an orphan Mrod stock but no posts for this query
-
I have a spare synthetic one, but you asked for wood.
-
I have a surplus Gen 1 wood stock, not sure of the inletting differences.

You can post WTB in the classifieds. Sorry, I don't have what you need.

Thanks. The trigger spacing is different I've been told so the stocks are not interchangeable.
I plan to modify it so I don't want a synthetic stock.
Thanks for the other posts, I appreciate the time and effort you took.
I could buy a Boyds or one like that but I think I will just carve out my own next month if one of the other queries doesn't get a bite.

Crosman is very reasonable on their parts prices, call them during business hours and they'll give you a price and shipping probably.

New Crossman is basically the same price as for a basic Boyd's or a rifle-stocks.com, etc but not as pretty, though. (FYI it's $130ish)
The reason I wanted an old wood stock is that I want to cut the butt stock off at the wrist and dovetail n epoxy on a block of wood and shape it into a sort of in-between 'longish' bullpup. Add in a pistol grip using an AR block adapter I've got that will screw to the old stock underside.
So I'm not interested in paying full price for stock that's going to get major surgery.
This is not for pretty it's for real world practical 'form follows function' - hog hunting in the brush filled river bottoms.
The Mrod already has a stock length barrel but has a Hill 19" shroud (so no baffles) that ends even with the fill fitting and a JSAR air tube for light weight and the bull pup style is generally lighter n of course shorter. It's been revalved, SSG/MDS hammer and regulated and is shooting 60 FPE for 20 shots (which covers a days hunting!).
And I find it ridiculous to be asked to pay $400 for a bullpup kit when it is very easy to DIY a proper transfer linkage using micro spherical rod ends and parts that can be made by hand/dremel/drill press. Or I could use a solenoid and electric trigger easily. I just am lazy and have inletted plenty of stocks down through the years (I did train to be a gunsmith in my 20's) but wanted the ease of something that was already inletted so I could do the other stock mods I am interested in and get hunting, not 'wasting time.
Sheesh, if I have too I have some unplained 2"( x7.25") birch planks that I could take my band saw and router to and make my own rough stock. But I was just looking for shortcuts. This is really a 'parts gun' assembled from spare stuff (except for the JSAR aluminum tube).

Given the popularity of the M-Rod, and the desire for Walnut amongst airgunners; I’m surprised Crosman doesn’t offer a Walnut stock in the custom shop. Same goes for the Diana line. What is premium beech anyway...?

Bought a quality paintball electric trigger setup on ebay just now so no mechanical linkage on the bullpup.
I have been really impressed by a friends Daystate but I am not going with all that pressure sensing, chronograph in the moderator, solenoid hammer stuff... just no trigger linkage, wire instead.
Has the high end mechanical micro-switch with settable resistance to be activated by the new pistol grip trigger, solenoid to push the old mechanical trigger, capacitor to jump the solenoid, wiring harness and a tiny circuit board so the solenoid can be set for simi-auto, full auto and safe.
It claims to run for 20,000 shots on a single 9 volt. I know paintball guys that do get that 'mileage' on a battery. And modern paintball guns are rugged and reliable in the trigger department
$50 bucks so if it does not work I am out much.
Obviously on a bolt action airgun the only positions I will use are the safe and use the simi-auto function as a single shot.
