Gun Stock

[PGunner]

Any of you mod. your gun stock?

[jmoronic]

What kind of mods are you talking about?

[ER00z]

I've filled and weighted a few synthetic stocks. Thought about doing a few notches here and there for access to pivot bolts on break barrels or the velocity screw on an Mrod. Never made any palm rests or major reshaping. I've seen others that have made storage in synthetic stocks.

Unless you mean checkering, engraving or carving. Those talents are far beyond my skill set.

I have a few times.

Made a folding 13xx stock, shortened a 13xx stock, modified a 2260 stock for a 13xx I made into a traditional rifle.

I built a LW barreled 2260 based carbine and modded a broken 392P without the pump arm for it.
 Does that count?

 So many mods so little time, to do the detailed ones but have made them useful for the guns purpose

I used "Stone Texture" paint for mock stippling

It seems that posts are made, and questions asked but the orginator does not comment back.
I have seen this many times now with differant originators.

[jmoronic]

So I guess all they want to know is do we do it?

YES

I know it is hard to believe, but not everyone lives on GTA. 

[jmoronic]

What?

Maybe I'm just thinking, if I asked a question I would stick around for a little while to see if I get any feedback.

It is approaching midnight here... most "sane" people are in bed. 

[jmoronic]

Bah, ha,ha,ha
This is the mid day for me this week.
I just wonder why you would post and sing off?

[jmoronic]

I live on EST, not that means anything in my work.

I am loaded with "potato juice" and Mnt Dew... so all comments from here forward are off the record.

I am tempted to start a thread, asking "are any of you mind readers?".  Anybody who replies is bound to ask why.  In what context.  Else, it is a stupid question.  Which leads me to this:

I think that I should stop putting in so much effort trying to answer what seems like a simple question; but requires a nuanced response.  Rather answer with "why do you want to know?".  If the OP is not going to guide the discussion, a bunch of people end up wasting their time. 

This thread is a case in point:  https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=186556.msg156141641#msg156141641

I even PMd the OP there, asking him to participate and he ignored that...

Wood or plastic?  If wood, there is a forum dedicated to that:  https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?board=139.0

Else, general stock mods may be found here:  https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?board=15


If we new the kind of mods and the airgun of interest, we could find you specific info.  That could be spread over the rest of the forum...

Yes, it was a rather vague post... but lets see what the OP comes back with.
 I have seen some stocks here that were very detailed.

Stone texture paint? Never tried. Spray on bed liner I've done. That was on an adult sized stock for a Daisy Buck rifle I made and forgot about. Surprisingly durable, figured it would have flaked off but lasted years. The thing looked like... Well, let's just say it was comfortable to shoot.

I am curious as to the OP's original question, there are many "mods" that could be done. The only thing I've never seen was a floating stock, as in buoyant when applied to water  . But lots if interesting things can be done for cosmetics and function.
