Richards Microfit stocks in the States sold me the Laminate blank (a giant brick shaped block of wood). Then I carved out the stock shape manually. Was a satisfying Summer project during Covid.
That’s awesome. My buddy has a backyard sawmill and I’ve floated the idea of getting him to cut me a chunk of wood that I can then carve into custom stocks for my SKS, and 10/22 but in northern Manitoba I’m uncertain of the type of tree, how to make sure it won’t warp, etc.
What did that brick cost you to buy/ship/import etc? If you don’t mind me asking
I think it cost around 120cad, and shipping was like 80. Now i usually buy blanks from Lamnia in Scandinavia. They have free shipping once u buy a couple blanks. Laminate is 1000% the way to go. Solid wood has too many variables. The consistent lines in Laminate also aid greatly with carving symmetry.
Thats pretty tasteful, looks almost like an SVD Dragunov, I was thinking of getting the black synthetic one but this is much nicer! Where can one acquire this?
Nice. Tad nit picky but I’m not a fan of how the archangel stocks look. For me it just the argos on the wood stock make it uncomfortable to shoot, the length of pull is way too short
Choate. Lighter, tighter, cheap and quick to install. Downside is they aren't particularly tactical or add any attachment mounting options. They are basically what an sks stock would be from the factory if the sks was released today.
As long as its not ATI. Those stocks are garbage. Took mine off and swapped back to wood (bought it in the ATI). I still have a rail ane 5/20rd mag on it for a semi tacticool look, and much prefer it to the ATI stock.
Tapco actually makes some nice laminated wood SKS stocks too (under the brand Timbersmith or something), that actually look fantastic. Im considering getting one if I ever want to swap again
