Anybody ever made their own stock???
« on: August 29, 2009, 08:49:44 PM »
I have a Chinese coach gun that needs a new stock. (Shut up! I got my $200 out of it and it still shoots good enough. They just put soft wood on the things.) I'm thinking it may be cheaper to make it myself. Anyone experienced in this area got any tips for me?

 I can't help you with making one but have you looked for a replacement at www.sarcoinc.com ?

You cant get one. You call Century International Arms to ask if you can get a stock and possibly a set of replacement screws, and they tell you "Well.... Well.... Well...... We don't sell parts."  >:( So I have to make it or have it made. I may call again Monday and ask, but since I've called before, I don't think I'll get much help. I think I need to start buying Stoeger or Remington coach guns, when I can afford it. Maybe it'd be easier to find parts. That's part of why I put my Charles Daly pump on consignment.

If the one you have is a copy of something Sarco may have an original stock. +10 on Stoeger or Remington.

 Most custom stock companies that I have seen on line have rough blanks that you can order and finish to fit what you have, whether you go that route or just start grinding on a piece of plank, it will mostly be eyeball work except for drilling the hole the full length of the stock for the screw that holds it on. What I would do is get the part that mates to the receiver done first, then work back from there.

Its not fun unless you love wood working. If you have enough of the old stock to get the dimensions where the stock fits into the receiver, write those down, then put the old stock against a stock blank and trace it out. remove the big pieces with a saw until you have a rough outline. Then use a big drum sander to bring to much closer outline. Mark your center line all the way around end to end, pencil the shape on the ends, then use a belt sander with 60 grit to start shaping. Once you get close, start on the receiver to stock fit, go slow, don't remove too much, this is usually done with a wood chisel to start, if you have access to milling machine then that's the way I would go. The main thing at this point is staying centered, check your side wood removal often against the center line. Once you can get the wood close enough it will enter the receiver a little, use a soft mallet and kind of pound it into place, not hard, but hard enough it will mark the places you will need to remove more wood until you have a complete fit. Mark your screw holes, remove stock and drill, mindful of the original angle. Sand and finish.

I would check with your local gunshops and ask if they have any take off stocks you could go through, 1 might be close enough to save a lot of work, my local gunstore has a barrel full of them.

Good luck.
