    Custom Carbon stock for Howa Superlight completed vs factory

    Here is the final product after too many hours to count. I gave it more length of pull than factory as they are more of a youth length stock. Also raised the comb on my build. Finished weight with sling studs and but pad 455g on my scales.
    Carbon wrapped Paulownia build with a nice camo finish, that was experimental but turned out great.
    Thanks for checking it out. I’ll be listing a complete unfired 308 superlight in this upgraded stock for less than retail in a week or so.
    More builds to come, been working on 8 different builds for the last 12months lol. Not the best use of time but that’s the perfectionist in me.

    If you want a blank of this timber I can supply them along with build pointers and the where to’s to purchase the other stuff needed to build your own.

    1.965kg with mag

    4.332 lb if you are old school. I’ll be cutting it down and suppressing it if I don’t sell it. Handy bushpig forsure
