painted stocks.

Post by Szumi »

I see rifles that are painted. That makes me wonder if under the paint there is a bondo job that got the comb high enough. Did I figure out what is going on?

In some cases yes.

In other cases they are full custom carbon fiber stocks that are molded that shape.

Many a stock has been bondo'd into shape though.

Sacrilege! To paint wood is a sin!
The warmth! The beauty! The feel! The smell!
You deny your senses the pleasures of why you have them.

Plastic. Yuk!!!!! :D

Wood stocks are purdy but......................... they are heavy and they move.

I think most of the painted stocks are plastic.

Walnut and blue steel are beautiful, but synthetic and stainless are more practical. Dangit.
