    That stock looks great. What type of mould did you use? Did you shape a plug yourself or use an existing stock as a pattern? Composites is my trade, so I have always toyed with the idea of carbon stocks but never got around to it.

    Thanks mate. I used the original wooden stock as the plug and made a parting board out of 6mm ply. I extended the plug and filled gaps with plasticine. I've donr a few carbon fibre attempts but failed due to cheap rubbish vacuum bags. I've since got decent composites specific vacuum bagging material that stretches better and got a good mould last time. Then I poured in the inletting resin too fast and cracked it. Next time it'll work!

    Send me your whatsapp or email deets by pm and I can send you pics. It wasn't too difficult but was time consuming!
