Wood Stock for "Mountain Hunter"

[DannyB]

I picked up a "Mountain Hunter" from a guy at work for next to nothing. It's a .54 cal., with a busted plastic stock. Shootable, but busted.

I've built a few long-rifles, and a ML shotgun, so wood-working isn't foreign to me, but I was wondering if there's a fairly compatible commercial stock available? She's going to be a hunting rifle, so historical accuracy is no big deal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the Mountain Hunter, who makes it? :hmm:

I have a Mountain Hunter with a good synthetic stock and lock but bad barrel. If you can't find anything else, maybe I can help you out.

Just about any precarved stock that is cut for the right barrel channel and ramrod will do. You probably won't find a pre-inlet that will fit your lock so get one that is not inletted for the lock.

I did something like that on my Mountain Rifle. The factory stock was too short and didn't have enough drop for me. I restocked it with a Leman pattern half stock that was cut for the 15/16" barrel and had the ramrod channel bored. I inletted the rest of parts myself. The rifle is still going strong after 30 years.
