Thread: Howa 1500 S/A lightweight stock options

Hey guys, with lock down looming over us I have let my mind wander around a fix for my christiansen arms carbon barrel howa 1500 heavy laminate stock problem.
Whilst it's super nice to shoot its also heavy for what it is which kinda defeats the purpose I bought it for, which was wallaby hunting and small game hunting on foot.
I don't really want to spend $1k plus on a carbon fiber stock.
So I found I can buy a howa 1500 alpine S/A stock for $699 which is still up there but a lot easier on the wallet than a carbon fiber stock.
The alpine stock weighs in at 765gms which I suspect is substantially lighter than the laminate stock it currently sits in.
Obviously I would need to massage out the barrel channel as the carbon barrel has a profile similar to a heavy or bull barrel.
Assuming no issues with doing this with the alpine stock ?
Anyone got any other suggestions or an alpine stock for sale ?
Pics coming shortly
