I have made numerous wood (mesquite) stocks/forearms for Crosman 760s and I am thinking of making some for Daisy 880's. I am curious if there would be any interest. The price would be about $35 for a set plus $15 for shipping.
-
that would be a awesome upgrade for the new 880. at 50 bucks that would be a stretch for a $40 gun...but if it's all 3 pieces.....you could be on the way to the $100 pumper masterpiece....

I have a 177X that's pretty nice handling. Got a leaky valve, though. Gotta get that fixed. A wood stock for the 880 would be cool.
-
I'm in. Let me know if you proceed
-
I think it would be a good addition to the gun.
-
I'd be interested.
-
sounds pretty sweet
-
I had thought of doing the same thing. Out of Walnut. Still might if time ever permits.
-
Thanks for the positive feedback. I have an 880 that I will practice on next week. I have attached a couple of pics of a Crosman 760 that I added mesquite wood to. I am pretty sure I can get the price down to $45 and that would include shipping.
-
That looks really nice. Maybe you could give a lower price by leaving the wood unfinished so the purchaser can finish it to their liking, and make a finished stock an option for a few bucks more.

Put my name on the list...

How about you make it one piece where the reviver sits in the stock to increase accuracy ? There was a pic of one online some where.

I'm interested in a set.

This is a but ugly bull pup job on the 880, but the concept is unique...

I took apart my 880 tonight. I have a newer model with plastic receiver and 6 screws holding the stock. This would be a nightmare to make a wood stock for. I am thinking that the older model with the metal receiver and 2 stock screws might be a better candidate for a wood stock. Any thoughts from 880 owners?
-
I have thought about doing it. However the cost /work involved to do it far outweights the original price of the 880. I estimated I would have to charge $80 for a stock out of walnut, and that is not making good money.
If you can make a quality stock and ship it out the door for $45 I may buy one myself. I don't see how it can be done so cheaply.
-
I will take one for the 880 and a second for a 760.
The 760s look great!
Heck, I would buy a rifle to put on the stock if I had it. Nice work!

See I would love to have just a rough version of this so I could customize it my self. Make it out of say oak ? Kinda a you finish type deal.

If you could pretty that up to look like a edgun matador style stock I'd love it !
-
Neither of the photos above are my work, the webpage about the full stock one said he used a 4x4 of scrap wood to make it.

Dear goodness. That is pretty. Talk about making a silk purse from a sow's ear.

HA. And you thought the trigger was bad on a stock 880!
In all seriousness though, if I could get a wood stock for $45 I would jump on that. Count me in. I would love the fore-arm panels to be a little thinner at the bottom. The current plastic design has them wider at the bottom than at the top, and it doesn't handle very well.
-
The forearm being eider at the bottom reminds me of my dad's Remington 742BDL growing up, it was the same shape, the overall "feel" of the 880 reminds me of that gun..
-
I am putting the 880 wood stock program on hold until I figure out a better way to attach the stock to the receiver. I will continue to make 760 stocks/forearms out of mesquite, which is relatively common and cheap here in AZ. Plus, I really like the "rustic" look.
-
I love mesquite...
for smoking chicken and turkey ;)
-
If my 761 XL didn't already have wood stocks, I would hit you up for a set..
