Stock Blank

[doc623]

Where is the best or a good place to get a stock blank for a ml?

 

[Mike Brooks]

Wayne Dunlap is where I get 90% of mine.

Looked at the web site.
Couldn't find any info about blanks and the kit page did not load.

 

Call Pecatonica. They do precarved, but I'm sure they will sell you a blank, and might cut a barrelchannel or ramrod hole in a blank for ya . Bill

I snuck out to my Dad's back yard and cut down his English Walnut tree. Then took a branch off the Maple tree. He never even noticed. Got 4 stocks off the Walnut and 1 off the Maple. :front:

Mule Brain, you better not tell. He would turn over in his grave if he found out I cut down his tree! I just wish I had gotten to the pecan, too. Pretty wood! I just used a bigazz chainsaw and cut the tree down, then cut up a chunk of the trunk. I waxed the ends and brought it to Arizona where it sat for about 4 years. When I started working with it, it was DRY. I built two rifles from the walnut. Still have two half-stock blanks. The maple is a 6' chunk of wood that I want to start. But I am moving next week so I will have to wait and wait and wait....new house honey-do list is long.........

Sorry to hear your dad passed on , if that is the case.

I could just see him looking at the rifle, and saying Boy that sure is a beautiful stock! Where on earth did you find it? :haha:

Mule Brain. Yes, Dad passed on a couple of years ago. Actually, he cut the tree down and brought me a couple of slabs out of the center of the trunk. I did get 4 good stock blanks out of it. (And a couple not so good) I cut the maple down because it was a danger to the house and Mom wanted it gone. I still wish I could have gotten the Pecan! Dad would have loved it. He is still with me and guides me on each hunt. I can hear his voice on the wind: Squeeezzze!! :front: To the best of my knowledge, Dad never fired a muzzleloader in his life. But he did get to see the first rifle I built and he was pleased with the results.
