G2 stocks
« on: April 29, 2005, 03:15:59 PM »
What a dummy. I posted ths 1st in the handloading section. Just ordered a G2 carbine barrel and need a set of stocks. How do you like the factory ones? Does any one have a custom set? I would like to hear about them before I buy any.

G2 Stocks

I have a factory stock and forend for the G2 which came with the first frame I purchased. Second frame was just a frame with no wood. After carefull deliberation I ordered a gunstockinc in rollover cheek laminate with palm swell.

Three days after my order the stock was on my doorstep ready for finishing. Of the two I prefer the gunstockinc. Looks, feels, fits better. I think either the factory or gunstockinc will cost pretty much the same.

I don't like the thumbhole stocks as I hunt with mine. The thumb needs to come up and cock the hammer as you are shouldering the rifle.

Thanks IF thats what I was hoping to hear. Gunstocks Inc was the other I was thinking of. What kind of recoil pad did you get.

Moe,

I got the 1" black pachmayr pad on autumn  camo wood with 14 1/2" LOP. He did an excellent job of installation on mine.

I do not know which stock to recommend as I have not handled a G2 stock.  I can however recommend Gunstocksinc.  I just ordered my second stock from them, an Encore stock inletted for the old style Contender.  Received it 3 or 4 days after I ordered it and it was a nice piece of wood.  I put the Sims recoil pad on it (figured that was what I needed since I have a 22lr barrel for it :).

I got my carbine barrel yesterday and ordered a Gunstocks Inc rollover and forend in autumn camo with Sims recoil pad. Should be here by Monday. It was a hard decision, there were several good deals on the factory items around. GSI talked me into their's after I told him I liked the factory ones. Gave me reasons why that made sense etc. Gave me some tips on finishing also.
