Just wanted to let you know I'm making progress on the walnut stock for the Avenger, in case your interested. Inletting is much easier to make than Liberty stock.

That's great that it was easier inletting than the Liberty, some of the people thought it'd be more involved than the Liberty.

Stephen, is it abusing your kindness to ask if you would consider sharing your pattern ?

Not at all. I'm not sure how to make it available. I can trace on oak tag paper. but I'm sure how to proceed from there

Thank you Stephen.
I am neither artist nor engineer. Personally, a picture of your drawing/sketch from the side and from above would be all I could hope for. I can measure and transfer, but I can't draw nice curves and shapes

Other's needs may vary.

Stephen how did you cut the inlet ? I have done several Richards micro fit stocks using a die grinder with carbide cutter to get the general shape , then tubing with DA sand paper with sticky backing to hold it on the tubing , also a up right drill press with machinist vise .. I have a lot of experience using die grinder's porting 2 stroke racing motors for jet ski's for decades, the average person might have a hard time with that ... it it is some work accomplish for sure ..

I cant wait to see your finished stock , I like the effort your putting in ...

I wonder if you can "shrink wrap" the action, and then cast a mold around it...wait - that might work better if you are going to then pour liquid plastic around it to make a polymer stock...okay nevermind.

mrbulk · « **Reply #367 on:** September 22, 2020, 03:17:39 PM »

...or could you make a 3D template of the inletting on the original polymer stock somehow?

avator · « **Reply #368 on:** September 22, 2020, 03:22:16 PM »

That was my thought... a 3d scanner.

...after which it attaches to a CNC inletting machine? I'm totally not up on this kinda stuff.

mrbulk · « **Reply #370 on:** September 22, 2020, 03:46:05 PM »

...but if there Were such a setup, then one could crank out custom-inletted wood blanks for sale to shape, sand and finish as the recipient pleases...

Ok what we need to do is all of us call boyds stocks , and ask them to start offering some stocks cut for the Avenger pointing out the sales of the gun , if they get enough interest by all of us calling there is a good chance they will offer some stock options just like they do the crosman guns ...

I sent them an E-Mail in August asking if they would consider making a stock for the Avenger. I suspect it went straight to the trash bin

Ronan, asking to make a custom wood stock for a $300 gun they must have thought it was an April Fool's prank...

But I might consider it, depending on how beautiful the wood grain and pattern is...

Dan, that's a good idea if there could be some kind of petition people sign...

That stock is an inspired work of art, Dan! No two exactly alike, one of a kind...

Sorry fellas... I'm not interested in adding a couple more pounds and a couple hundred bucks to my investment in this gun. That kinda defeats the reasons I bought it in the first place.
I love looking at what other folks do to theirs though.

tracker1955 · « **Reply #377 on:** September 23, 2020, 10:04:16 AM »

I don't own an Avenger yet so I have no iron in the fire, but for a field carry gun I'd have to agree with Avator, lightness is king. The manufacturer however could have put a little better stock on it though like what's on the new Umerex non regulated rifle.

avator · « **Reply #378 on:** September 23, 2020, 10:07:05 AM »

It's rather minor when compared to the ringing the gun puts in that squirrel's head...

I agree on the weight part ... that stock on my mrod at that point in time un- finished was around 70 bucks if I remember right , what I do on a few of my guns is have the light weight stock usually oem for going out in the field ...then have my own usually better for bench shooting after market stock , so you have the best of both worlds ...

so even if I buy a cool wood stock for the Avenger , the plastic 1 goes on for for hiking /hunting . Boyds on the Benji stocks they make ,has a light weight 99 buck stock in laminate that's pretty cool .. spike camp forest laminate 99 bucks ! cheap ! for the guy that wants 1 ...
