been thinkin i have a standard frontier model.. if they have a maple deluxe stock and everything apparantly lines up id just get the stock problem is cant find anyone that sells them????????? :hmm:
 
Is this a repeated thread?
Actually, not likely you will find one.
Personally, I believe doing this is pointless. It will be an expense on a factory made rifle that will do little.
I stirred some anger once when I suggested doing such a thing is like putting lipstick on a pig. When done, you still have a pig.
No offesne, but I'll stick with that anology.
Use and enjoy your rifle but do plan for the day when you can get yourself a really nice custom made rifle with really purty wood and worthy of the expense. Your pride in ownership factor will go off the charts as well.
 
Won't Pedersoli sell you one? I agree though, the guns are pretty nice factory guns as they are. Safe your money for another gun. After all, you don't have too many guns do you? :grin:
 
Rifleman 1776 did answer your question; no one makes a replacement stock for that particular factory made product, especially not one made of P++ maple,the market is just not there. You could have one made by a custom maker but most wouldn't want the work, especially with the cost factor - it would be high - probably as much as or more than you pad for the entire rifle when new. Sorry, that's just the way it is.
 
Pedersoli sells a deluxe maple stocked model of the Frontier rifle. Contact them and see if you can buy a replacement stock.
 
No one makes one, but you could contact Dunlap, and they can set you up with a blank. I'm not sure if they cut barrel and ramrod channels, the rest would be on you to build up your own profile. Dave Keck at Knob Mountain can set you up with a profile stock, that has the profile cut from the lock mortice back, barrel, and ramrod channel cut for you. If its a straight barreled rifle, all he would need is the size,, but if it's swamped he'll need the barrel to get it right. Dick Greensides at Pecatonica may also be able to set you up. You will basically be building a gun with your parts. Also none of these guys could cut you the lock mortice, as no one has done it as yet. Freddie Harrison, can sell you a blank, but it will cost more than the value of your gun right now. The job is doable, but there is nothing that's drop in, and even the so called drop in stocks for TC's, and Lymans aren't, nor are the replacement locks. Sorry their's not a really good answer for you.

Well, I guess you didn't see the smiley face as I meant to be having fun, therefore the smile. I know that if Pedersoli makes and sells the gun, wouldn't they have parts? Don't need to offer advice if none is wanted. You don't need a story and I didn't offer one and I don't need attitude for offering advice. I could offer a place to contact, but........nah. :shake:
 
You might look up Flintlocks Ect, phone 413 698 3822...they can tell you if they can get a stock...the maple Frontier looks pretty good... :v
 
If you truly want a nice stock and your willing to do the work of building a gun using your old parts call Dick Greensides at Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply,
815-968-1995.

Before calling, measure the width of your barrel across the flats.

Then, go to his site using this link
http://longrifles-pr.com/stockscomponents.shtml

Search thru the various styles of stocks available noting in their description what barrel sizes they are made for. For instance, this Leman Fullstock is made for either a 15/16" or a 1 inch straight octagon barrel.
Note the Stock Inletting & Drilling cost and write it down.
This "Inletting & Drilling" cost covers shaping the stock, cutting the barrel channel, drilling the ram rod hole as well as cutting the lock mortice etc. Even though you will not want the lock mortice cut, the price is not reduced. It is the same price with or without that cut. http://longrifles-pr.com/lemanfull.shtml

After you've found the stock shape you want, go to the "Stock & Pistol" prices and choose the grade of wood you can afford.
After you've chosen a length and grade, write down the price. http://longrifles-pr.com/stockprices.shtml

Once that is done, your ready to talk to Dick.

Tell him which stock style you want and which grade of wood.
Tell him you do not want the lock mortice milled or the trigger mortice cut because you are going to install a different lock and trigger.

The cost will be the sum of the Stock Inletting plus the Wood plus shipping.
For instance if you choose the Leman fullstock in the very best curly maple (#5) the cost will be $47.50 + 350 = $397.50 plus postage.

If you choose the Leman halfstock using #3 curly maple (an excellent choice) the cost will be $47.50 + $125 = $172.50 plus postage.

You will have to finish the barrel channel for your barrel and tang, cut the lock mortice and the trigger mortice.
You will have to cut the stock for the length of pull and install the butt plate.
You will have to install the sideplate and trigger guard and whatever else you choose to have.
Then you will have to finish shape and sand the stock, apply any stain you choose and finish it with a stock finishing oil.

Yes, it is a lot of work, but less than building any of the other gun "kits" he sells because your barrel already has sights and a breech plug.
