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

Just like a bought one!
Only carbon wrapped inside and out! Which is better than the other brands shell filled with foam.

471g






Frikken stoked with this!
I learnt some hard lessons about the epoxy and carbon. Dont sand too much or slightly too early in the epoxy cure stage.
Also learnt im allergic to the epoxy- wet or the dust!

Nice work man that looks great.

Currently doing one as well.
Using a polyester fabric as a peel ply alternative (it works well)
Felt as a breather.

Polyester fabric?

Yea, just from the local fabric store. Grabbed some thin shiny polyester fabric. $7 for 1m.
Worked just like peel ply. Pulled off and left a mating surface. The surface that’s left behind is not quite as rough as what normal peel ply would leave. But it’s good enough.

Howa superlites

@Scott Cowan
What do the howa stocks weigh?

Are those Howas legal length? look noticeably shorter than mine and mine is knocking on legal length without having to pin the suppressor to it

One was 500g they other I didn’t weigh as the guy who commissioned it was after strength over weight reduction. So based on passed builds it would have been under 600g

Hi Ryan, 10.5” barrel made the length without the suppressor 1cm longer than minimum legal requirements

@Ryan_Songhurst I'm picking L.O.P in the custom stock is longer allowing for a shorter barrel, I love my superlite but the stock is almost a youth stock in L.O.P.
Those Howa's of Scotts would not be legal if put back in a factory stock.....not that you would, Scott's stocks look to have better cheek rise too.

Now you're just showing off, my stumpy arms are right at home wrapped around my wee howa
