Has anyone used an aftermarket stock or Is any available? The make doesn't matter. I see other parts being used and mods done on some an just curious If any Is out there? From a ventage standpoint I understand the no change that Isn't needed so to keep the original look and feel but I think some of the older guns would look and preform very well.

What guns do you have in mind ?

I've had some made over the years.
I just love the HW 55 Tyrolean stocks so I had one hand carved for my Beeman R7.

Steve Corcoran is one of the best in the country but expensive. I got mine used but custom stocks can literally transform a rifle.

I have never been one for custom or altered stocks. This one goes way beyond that. Simply stated a true work of art. Absolutely gorgeous & with the hardware to match!

GAWWJUSS !!

That Is some beautiful craftsmanship and combination of wood and metal. Iv'e seen some of the new airguns for sale with optional stock materials to choose from but the right wood with Brass,Bronze,Steel,and cast Iron are some works of art. The ones I was thinking about are the old Crossman and Benjamin's that may have been damaged or missing the stock. I have an older Benjamin that the stock was water damaged and was asking for maybe some options In the future.
Wouldn't mind having a custom stock made for a favorite shooter thats compfortable to handle and hold.

Try this guy from ebay, James Valdez from Hawaii I remember he does exotic stocks for Dans Benji's and the like, he only has one listed currently but send him a message through ebay.

Thanks for the link,I will get In touch and see what he offers.

The original poster asks for aftermarket stocks. The responders assumed wood stocks.
Now, I know that for asking the following question, I might get strangled, hanged, beheaded, and ultimately finished off by an air rifle firing squad,... but here goes....:
Where can I buy synthetic stocks to get rid of a wood stock? (Like for a Diana 56TH, for example.)
OK, now you can execute me. Please, use big bores only.

Though I think your sanity should be questioned doubt the vintage area is the best place to ask?

Matthias Yes and no on the wood stocks,but not so muck on synthetic but maybe laminate,wood and resin mixed (like the river tables) or maybe on the far stretch some high end composite like carbon fiber. My Imagination Is running rampant and abstract but the one that stays Is like the photos posted of the beautiful wood,brass,and steel combined. Although I did not state that In the original post.

??? Well, yes, dooooh!
Thanks, 45flint, I was disoriented and had not realized that I was in the Vintage Gate.
Posting what I did IN THIS GATE deserves torture before the execution.
I'll try to be brave.
