Pre Carved Stock

[Mulebrain]

Are there any suppliers who have a pre carved stock for a 44" barrel?

Sure. Pecatonica River markets under their own label, (and makes most of the stuff for Track) but Dave Keck as well as many others do so as well.

I have only seen stocks with 42" barrel channel length

Give Pecatonica a call.

All of them can do a 44" barrel. Dave Keck did a 48" one for me. I furnished him the wood and the barrel.

My Pecatonica River stock came with enough length to do a 44 inch barrel even though my barrel was only 42 inches long.

I won't, I remember seeing your nightmare

I'ts either get a pre carve, or tackle what I have. I just don't know, but I think getting a pre carve for the barrel I have would be best.

I tested the barrel, and it's dead on at 100yds

Its hard to see, but it hit about 5:00 o'clock in the 8 ring. Great for never sighting it in, and only had the rear sight taped on!

I decided that before I moved forward, I really wanted to test the barrel. It was fun and exciting at the same time. I couldn't believe when I looked through my scope. No triggers, and the lock wasn't inletted all the way, so I was like screw it.

Looks like the only thing you need is someone to help you put this rifle on a diet. Inside that stock blank is a fine rifle. Epoxie is still available . Get a copy of how-to-do-it from Dixon's m/l shop , Kempton Pa. , look @ the pictures , read the step-by-step book and "have at it." It's not brain surgery............We got faith in ya..........oldwood

 

[Two Feathers]

I gotta' agree with oldwood. Be careful, take your time and go for it! The world won't end if you make a mis-cut, and like oldwood said Epoxies are available. They've been the salvation of many a good craftsman. and gun maker.

When examining original Jager rifles in museums , some of them exhibit huge stock wood transplants , glued on w/hide glue. Hide glue was used in wood work so far back I never bothered to look it up. This gives us the right to use a better glue than that.....Epoxie...There are coloring agents from Brownells , and Woodworker's Supply stores . Just saying...you can't screw this up..........If you don't like what you've done , smooth up the surfaces , slap some Epoxie to it and clamp the pieces of wood tight. It will all be ok during the finishing process. Sorry for the lecture. It's a weakness of mine . This stuff is so much fun , I can't resist....oldwood

I just ordered a plan for this stock, we will see if the plan fits. I think it's gonna be close. I really like the style of the Lehigh Valley Rifles. Rifle by Johannes Moll,

I have to agree with the others, there looks to be plenty of wood left on that blank to finish the rifle, and it's got a pretty grain to it to boot. Study some rifles...in person if possible...and give it a go. You won't be out anything but time, since you already have the wood.

Whats even better, got the stock, match grade barrel and siler lock for a whopping 50.00

 

[Hlane]

There's a nice rifle lurking under all that wood! But, I'd be willing to let you double your money!
