15/16 to 1"

[rt2bowhunter]

I was wondering how hard it would be to buy a Hawke 15/16 stock and fit it to barrel that's 1" across the flats.

I assume you are talking about buying a used stock? If so, I think you would be better off buying a new stock inlet for the 1" barrel. Wouldn't cost a whole lot more and would be a lot less labor.

There will be a 1/32 gap on your stock. That’s not much but over all is a lot of barrel movement stress on the wood. You want as perfect fit as possible
Easiest get a new stock
If you don’t want that you can bed it, but that’s a lot of bedding compund
Look up model expo on line. They sell wood for ship models. Down to walnut, cherry, basswood and maple strips .5 mm thick
Very flexible and you can line your whole barrel channel. Cheaper then a stock
Then make a custom sanding block to finish whole wood

I think you got it backwards. He wants to fit a 1" barrel into a stock made for a 15/16" barrel.

Is the tang the same? Won’t you have to move the lock out as well? Deepen the barrel channel will throw off the wedge key as well then the nose cap comes into play. Sounds hard to me!

Thanks guys sounds like a lot of work. I'm going another route

Oh, never mind
In that case, many production guns have too much wood on the fore stock he probably has what’s needed to remove 1/32 from each flat.
