How can I add material to synethetic stock for better grip?
« on: September 07, 2006, 10:01:24 AM »
I want to add material to my synthetic stock, so I can get a better grip to reach the trigger. What meterial is best to build up a synthetic stock? Plastic for auto body work, fiberglass, or something else. I need to add about 1/2in feathering out to the stock. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Elmer

A lot depends on the material the stock is made from. The overmoulded type stocls are hard to get mearly anything to stick to. Anything called 'composite' or fiberglass or carbon fiber reinforced can use epoxy to build up with. You may well be better off gluing on a wood block, then shaping and covering with a neoprene material as sold by Brownells. There are also kits available, usually for combs on shotguns, of just the peel and stick neoprene material in various thicknesses. I've not used those kits but have used some of the neoprene wundheymer swells from Brownells with great satisfaction.
