SAKO L579 / A11 Stocks

[coire257]

Hi, does anybody know where I might get a synthetic stock for a Sako A11 / L579. I understand Bell and Carlson used to make them but there not in their catalogue. I can’t afford Macmillan prices. Thanks.

Bell and Carlson certainly did make a stock for the A2. I can't remember if it was called the Carbelite? I had one, it was a bit flexible, but pillar bedded and with the barrel generously floated was perfect for my needs. The rifle shot very well in it and I really rated the stock.
I bought mine from the UK distributor, who I think was in Manchester somewhere, if memory serves. It was maybe 7 or more years ago, though.

Thanks for that, I'll do a search in that area.

Any more ideas??

Anybody got one in their safe they'll never use??

Best, M

Remembered- I'm pretty sure that I bought my B&C stock from Wayne at Northwest Custom Parts. I can see no mention of them on his website now, though.

I have a L579 and had to make myself a stock for it. Used a Carbon composite stock with an inlet for a Howa 1500 and back filled the inlet.
Think rear action screw position is the same.
Lot of work but doable.

Hi, I suggested this to a friend that a modern Sako stock might modify but got lots os sucking through teeth)) I might try to borrow one to see what needs doing. Thanks. M

Just a thought, as I know that you asked about a synthetic stock, but have you considered a laminate? Joe West seems to inlet for just about anything.

Just had a look at his web site - looks like a possible - thanks. M

It would certainly be a lot less work than modifying a stock for a 75 or something else. I wouldn't even consider going down that road.
What sort of price are the Joe West stocks?

Hi, Thanks for that. Not looking for too much work, just a fitting job.
