Thread: Lockdown light weight carbon wrap stock build - Here we go

Ok, so I hunt with a Carl Gustav 1900 action (Husky 8000) but a mate lost the bottom metal when he was doing a repair for me... so its a single shot... amazing accuracy with the 147 eldm and 130 berger hunting vld's. it has a trueflite barrel and is chambered in 6.5/06 Ai. I had it cut down to 18"... yes I know im wasting powder... but I have another one with a 28" barrel for long range hunting. So with lockdown dragging on I decided to give it a birthday and build a new stock... super light weight (Paulownia Timber) and then wrap it with carbon fibre... how will it turn out you ask? me too lol. I have made another stock from this stuff for my grendel... thats a Zastava M85 and suppressed and scoped its lighter than a bare Tikka T3. I plan to carbon wrap that too as the Paulownia is pretty soft... havent got round to it as the grendel is so nice to carry and does the damage on deer and pigs.
So I made a start today and will add pics as the project goes. Ill also be restoring the stunning walnut custom stock and selling that off if anyone needs a stock for a Husky 800, Gustav 1900, Zoli 1900. Ill take a pic of the grendel and post that too.
First time posting other than for selling stuff so I may be a bit slow in posting pics but I'll try get some up each night. Got loads of other things to do and fours kids going lockdown crazy so itl take a few days lol.
I hope someone get some lockdown joy out of this.
Oh and Im going to fit a tikka bottom metal and mag to it as a solution for the single shot issue.
