Would you kick in an extra ?? bucks or so for some nice wood stocks for the NEF rifles? I was just lookin at the kaboom photos and the stocks on the Guide Gun. N I C E! I wish NEF would offer an option for some nice wood on their guns..

...wouldn't they look sweet on our guns?? :agree:

Deadeye47,
The walnut BC stock should be available. It is a shame you can't order a new Handi with the BCs wood.

yeah...BC wood looks pretty nice but I'm talkin a monte carlo stockset with the pistol stylegrip and a nice thin grip with checkering and soforth...they offer the laminated stocks which are pretty pleasing to the eye so why not some nice polished walnut monte carlo style stocks ?? :cry:

Deadeye I'm with you, as popular as these guns are seems like some custom, or maybe I should say, aftermarket stockmaker would offer us a couple of styles ( roll-over, deep pistol, caps). With the minimal amount of inletting on a NEF it shouldn't be too expensive to set up a pattern.

Gentlemen,
Over on the Ol' H&R board a few years back a Guy by the name of I-Mungo went to WENIG and they patterned a thumbhole stock for his .270 NEF...Pictures of that stock can be seen over on the Yahoo NEF site under the photo section... As far as I Know they maintained the pattern...Now if ya can stand the price Wenig will sell you one in any type wood your Lil' Heart desires...and they have some super triple grade A Walnut available....As well as laminates and about anything you can imagine....So if yoiur Lookin' for a Monte Carlo thumbhole finished or unfinished....Save your Pennies....MTNMAN :-)

Yes..I'm familiar with Wenig but did not know they had a patern for the NEF! I wonder is I could get a thrid mortgage my shack or sell and organ and get a set... :roll: Hopefully a rather plain set of walnut stocks wouldn't be too bad. :-) Thanks for the info mtnman.....

Called Wenig this mornin, inquired about a two piece similar to their shotgun stock with rollover cheekpiece deep pistol grip and beavertail forearm. Price according to Shawn would be $45 for cutting the pattern plus the cost of the wood you chose. Medium fancy American walnut would be $180.

If you can live without the rollover, H&R makes a beautiful walnut stock set for their Topper Classic shotgun. I have two of those, one on a rifle and love it. These stocks are made from the same blanks as their BCs. Has cut checkering and recoil pad. If you are using open sights, that is a easy and inexpensive way to get nice wood under your chin.
Good shooting..mt
