Custom Wood for G2 Carbine?
« on: January 05, 2005, 03:31:28 PM »
Kicking around the idea of a set of custom carbine wood for my G2.  Would like to get a .223 BBL and build a varmint rifle.  

Any reccomendations on where I can find a nice laminate stock set for the G2?  I go 6'3" so I'm looking to get something with a longer length of pull than the factory wood.  I checked on Georgia Jim's site but didn't see any long guns there.

DropTheHammer,

Try www.gunstocksinc.com you will need to do some sanding and fitting to finish the stock.  I think they come with a 15'' LOP.

I did a search in this forum and ran across the gunstocksinc.com recommendation.  Checked them out last night and I really like the RH Thumbhole Sporter in the Black/Grey Laminate.   I'll be calling them soon.  

Now I'm trying to figure out whether to have the forend made to mount on a hanger bar system or not....  If they can cut a groove to fit a specific hanger bar I might go that way.  If I have to fit myself I'll probably skip the bar.

Check out their Stinger stocks. I picked one up (encore though) and it really fits nice. Great customer service also. I would highly recommend these folks great people. Good luck.

DropTheHammer,

If you go with gunstocksinc make sure you ask them about the fore stock barrel channel size.  My buddy ordered one and we had to open it up a little to fit his bull barrel.

How hard is the fitting and sanding that they talk about.

The only fitting that needs done is the forend barrel channel will need a little fitting to the barrel as they leave them slightly undersized for the factory barrels, if you use a heavy or bull barrel there will be a little more wood to remove, I use a piece of sand paper wraped around a wooden dowel, they ( Gunstocks Inc. ) fit a frame to each stock before it is shipped so there will be no fitting required there, they sand the stocks to around 80 grit and you will need to finish sand to 220 or whatever you want.
I have purchase several stocks from Gunstocks Inc. and am very pleased with there product, they are nice people to deal with and very helpfull.
The last stock I got from them was their Stinger thumbhole and it is the best thumbhole stock on the market as far as I'm concerned.
