Thread: Build yourself a fibreglass stock

There’s been a number of threads on this in the past, but I thought I’d put together a ‘build along’ on how I made mine.

Building a composite stock is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and finally bit the bullet so to speak and got stuck into the project. I love the micro BSA .222 Hunter actions, and as most know they can be a bit fragile through the wrist. I have two of them, a good mate has two, and his son has two of them as well, so putting time into making the mould for one of these stocks looked worthwhile.

Overall it’s not a super difficult project, but it really does require a penchant for attention to detail. You’ll also want to be patient, as you’ll put a heap of man hour’s into it. I think I put close to 100hours into the mould alone, but once that’s done things get quicker from there.

So with that said, let’s get into it!
