I'll post some I did if I can find the pictures.

Nothing fancy or special, but I've done a few things. Not even close to some of the seriously awesome jobs by some members that Hoosier mentioned above though.
-Customized a Hatsan Striker wood stock by cutting out the cheek riser and raising it. Why it's painted red is another story....lol.
-Customized a Hatsan Edge stock then fried the gas ram tinkering.
-Made my own screw cups for a few synthetic stock rifles to protect screw holes.
-Filled, weighted, or tried sound deadener in synthetic stocks to kill echo.
-Soft bedded (close to a dozen)

The SBR furtinture was made by Erik. He does great work.

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

SorryI missed that one, I signed off to get a snack and did not return.

The fake magazine covers on the 1077 work as a storage compartment for spare mags.

^ I found this idea on the web ^
I took it one step further buy making the lower magazine plate slide on and off to store extra mags. inside.

duct tape, bondo and pipe insulation are yer friends for stock mods.....

[PGunner]

duct tape, bondo and pipe insulation  someone else told me that a long time ago.
Something about filling a plastic stock with pipe insulation.

PA pellet foam works well. I coat mine in 100% rubberized silicone, then stuff it in there. Messy but works well. Pipe insulation, old shop rags, a ziploc bag filled with rice, plumber's putty or similar. The blue one I posted above got the skeleton part covered with ABS plastic cut to fit, then 2 part Quick Dry poly Epoxy, sanded smooth and painted. Some do camo paint jobs and finish with satin or dull coat clear.

Possibilities are endless for the most part, just depends on what you want for a finished gun stock.

Cut a little off the front so barrel mounted scout scope will clear when cocking. Cut a little off the back to improve scope eye relief.  Slip over ribber butt recoil pads to improve scope eye relief or cover bare wood or protect expensive wood and recoil pad. Add screw on sling mounts on the side of some old Chinese gun and AK/SKS slings. Spray paint with pick-up bed liner or red spray paint. Sand first. Blue varnish. On old Chinese guns I sand and use Minwax light oak and poly mix. Use steel wool to smooth out the varnish afterwards. Old pellets in the back of plastic stocks to add weight. Combine pellets and packed news paper to get the weight right.

Even without any wood working talent, you can get some things done by just being persistently stubborn.

Patience….if you want to get it all down in one day, will likely screw it up.  If it takes several days, or a day here...day there...with a week inbetween….whatever.

Needed to do 4 things to get this simple result:

1. Had to inlet the tank block into the stock (it’s a long tubed HPA conversion).
2. Needed the stock to be longer...too much longer for just adding a recoil pad.
3. Wanted the pistol grip textured.
4. Refinish without staining as it was a pleasant honey color.

NO SKILL...have all the wood working skill of a dull tooth beaver.

1. In-letting the block and getting the screws in place was the hardest….so it took the longest.   Hand tools. Spend nearly as much time sharpening as you do peeling little curls of wood.

2. Cheated on the butt pad. Just cut two short lengths of black PVC tubing as spacers and attached a Morgan pad (running the screws though the spacer).   Couple of test runs with different length spacers before settling on the “right” spacers.

3. Stippling is mind numbingl...no skill, real simple...dull punch and a lite hammer.  Zero skill, just tapping your brains out.   Ebony stain.

4. Refinish was easy...no staining, but I had to mask off the stippled area.  Thin applications, long dry time between thin coats, and you’re good in a couple of days.

Fine looking guns and some different ideas.
