Thread: Hoge vs Synthetic Stocks

Is it something to do with the pistol grip that's got 'them' thinking of banning it?

I have two escort pumps with synthetic stocks and I wouldn't want a wooden stock with a shotty with the amount of work that I give them.
My boy noticed the wooden stock of my .22 was scratched and ugly today when I fitted it onto my work horse the quad but you can expect that when its bouncing around all day and most nights on the quad rack.Be the same as bush bashing.But my other .22 has a prestine wooden stock as only gets unlocked from shed safe too kill caged coons or anything close too the sheds.

Yeah Poppa Dundee wood is pretty much out of the question for me.

Could end up becoming an "E" cat (MSSA) firearm with a dragunov/pistol grip style stock if the bill is passed.

Does this sort of stock have a name? I'd fancy something like that but might be heavier in the barrel end, I can't pick it from memory though. Seemed alright I guess!

Oh you mean the SR 22? just a 10/22 trying to be an AR... IMO cut the crap and buy a 22 AR and then you can pimp it till your hearts content.

as for the hogue stocks on the 10/22's... honestly for what its worth save your $$$ and buy a Marlin 795 or model 60, a much better gun for quater the price and they are super reliable...

but if you do for an extra 50 you cannot go wrong! Hogue stocks are awsome,i love hogue!

Thanks so much for all the imput guys

What about this guys? Non foldable and non adjustable so.....?

ATI Ruger 10/22 Non-adjustable Non-Folding Strikeforce Stock

I would not bother putting anything pistol gripped on a semi in case the bill to make them e cat is passed if it were a bolt action then yes I would put one of them on the rifle.

If they become E cat at some point then just get your E, they surely will have to allow existing rifles to be registered as E. Everyone ought to get their E anyway.

Agreed. $200, a clean police record and character referees, a 6mm safe and a bit of time is all it takes. Easy.
