My new stock is finally finished. I've posted a few pictures of the process on my 6x45 thread lately.
A huge thank you to Adrian0100 on the forum who painted the stock for me FOC! I can recommend his work. The coating is air cure Cerakote in OD green - lovely finish (aside from the few air bubbles from my fibreglassing!)
The stock (including forend) is very stiff and is filled with high density PU foam which adds stiffness and sound deadening.
Its made from 200g/m2 E-glass and West System 105/205 epoxy resin. The buttpad is a Pachmayr RP200B which is good quality and not too heavy. Sling swivel studs have been permanently glued into the stock with thickened epoxy resin.
It weighs in at 1077g, about 100g lighter than the standard Walnut stock. I have made the LOP longer than the original - about 15".
My next project is a lightweight carbon fibre stock. My first two attempts have failed but I'm learning as I go and will keep persevering!
Will post pictures of the rebarreled, cerakoted (Tungsten) rifle in the stock when it returns from rebarreling!
Hope you like my work.
