Title: Custom wood stock sources for break barrel...??
Post by: Mike West on September 17, 2019, 04:26:06 AM
 #1 I’m not looking to buy a $1000 piece of wood and then spend an other $1000 having it made. so no high end links please. Found plenty of those.

I’ve made three gun stocks in the past from a roughed out blank. I’d post them but they were all powder burners.

I’m pretty sure Richard’s micro fit stocks can do what I want or Boyd’s.
This will be for a HW95...Basically just want the OEM stock duplicated with a   95% inlet in a nice piece of serviceable walnut($50-$150)
I’m looking to do a more classic style sporter stock out of it.
So toss the price of the wood out...that’s on me.

Anyone else out there besides these two companies that will duplicate and inlet the stock from $100-$200?
TIA

This place has a good reputation.  I have seen a few of their stocks, and plan on ordering one for my HW97.

I’m kinda in the same boat as OP. Spent some time looking for a source for an inletted rough blank without success. I have ordered some stocks from CS UK and feel they are an excellent value if your gun is among those listed. When I see pics of beautiful AG stocks made here in the US in the past I really regret my late entry into this obsession.

Mike do you have any wood working tool? You have done PB stocks, you do the same thing for air guns. I have made many for both. Craig

This will help you. It did me with mine.

When I did mine I had access to a full woodworking shop.
I don’t anymore and have very minimal tools. That’s a lot of work right there with hand tools. I do have a friend that has like an Amish woodworking shop....meaning no power tools.  I’m pretty sure he’d let me come over and borrow what I needed.  I’m just not sure I want to try and tackle something that in depth.

All you have to do is find somebody with a duplicator machine and is willing to do it for you.

I know there’s shops around where you pay like an hourly or a monthly fee to come in and use all their tools.  My son belongs to one out in San Diego. I haven’t looked into that.
I’ll figure something out thanks for the links.

Yeah, Airgunstocks.com WILL NOT rough cut a stock for you as I've already asked his twice.  Not enough profit in for him ... I'm thinking.  ARH used to provide this service, but doesn't anymore - a shame.
Other company's doing similar things only offer a select list of stocks they'll inlet - there's only a couple airguns on this list.
So you're better off biting the bullet and buy a router table, shaper, drill press and bits to do the in-letting.  I have the above and checkering tools, but man the whole process takes so much time... that I haven't done it ... yet :P.
