Yea I looked at shooting one of those adapting one. Ended up going full carbon. "Buffer tube" on this is full carbon as well. Maybe need to many some sort of carbon butt

Also can anyone recommended a result light weight recoil pad? The stock with pistol grip weighs 501g. However the butt assembly weighs 260g. I'm thinking of fully redesigning the butt section. If...

Finally managed to get a complete stock together bit of a learning curve with the carbon fibre and the mk2 will be a lot tidier. Didn't really try to finish this one well. Just wanted...
SixtyTen the two mould halves have indexing studs from when I moulded around the plug. When the halves are joined together they line up petty good.
I'm aiming for the end product to be around the 500g mark
Total weight as it is is 550 but no bedding yet.
Body and tube only weighs 280.
All the weight in the butt is in the air cell recoil pad. Think I will ditch it for something lighter.
Haven't...

But of a stuff up with the epoxy but happy with the shape
If you use a fibreglass mold your outside dimensions are set. Ie if you make your mold by copying a factory stock the end product will be exactly the same. If you carbon wrap a plug it will end up...
Might as well leave the polystyrene in there for what it weighs. Only other issue with that method is that it will grow slightly compared to your mold. Also you can't add any textured or checkering...
Finally making some progress.
Moulds completed just need a little tidy up.
Carbon fibre this weekend
Would post pic but not working
Not yet but as the stock is essentially 3 components it could easily be swapped out at a later date for something different

So today it was time to have a crack at the butt end of the stock.
Basically all ally. Needs a lot of cleaning up yet and had a bit of trouble with contamination on the welds. Bit of a mk1 and open...
So I thought I would give it a crack.
In still in the early stages yet with lock down it's been bloody tricky getting hold of parts. Got a lot of stuff ordered but waiting to be delivered.
I'm...
