Thread: Carbon Stock Build

I’m about to give the carbon stock build a go.
Question:
I have a 308 and 7mm RM. Both Tikka T3’s
If the new stock is bedded for one, will it switch over to the other ok?
Obviously I will check at the range, but theoretically?

Cheers

Theoretically yes I believe the fishers are all bedded on a donor action

On Tikkas yes. Alot of Tikka stock makers will be their own slave action in the states.

Thanks for the info,

Next question:
I’m realistically only going to make one or two stocks.
I don’t think I will bother making a mould, so therefore I will opt for shaping a plug and wrapping in carbon.

What have people used as plug material? Other than bulsa and pulownia, Have looked at the PVC closed cell foam, but don’t know where I can get it.

Alternatively, has someone got a mould they would be willing to lend me?

Cheers,

Paulonia is great to work with & makes an excellent stable male plug for wrapping

It will work fine if done right...send me a PM when you get there.

@Brian has made a couple of amazingly light thumbhole stocks out of pulownia and just painted them with a polyurethene. They are surprisingly durable-they get a lot of work and just have the odd little dent. Light as a light thing.
