A SYNTHETIC STOCK FOR THE GARAND (BLASPHEMY!)
OK, so I'm seriously considering one of those Ram-Line synthetic stocks for my Garand just to drop some weight and "save" my nice wood. The Precious hasn't killed a deer in about a decade, and she...

The laminate stock has provoked some interest/curiosity here. As I examine the stock on Precious Grace, I notice that the laminates appear to be two different types of wood as indicated by the density...

I've not heard of that, but all it would take is the veneer to do it. Whoever makes the stock blanks for the laminate stocks should be able to whip one up. So how did that ketch sail? Bet she had a...

waitaminute, you can't type "cockpit"? Edited to add: guess you can, if it's one word. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Neoteric; There is some obscure irony in this. I learned to spell cockpit as two separate words due to indoctrination by Mr. Trumbly. One of his favorite sayings went something like this: "A cow has...

After several weeks of using the Garand with a laminate stock I have the following impressions. 1: They are much less fragile with regard to the risk of marring the cosmetic appearance than the...

Sounds good, not quite as good as a fiberglass stock, but head-and-shoulders above one piece of wood.

Neo; I noticed you referenced having a couple of wood M14 stocks, not in use, as they came with the rifle. Would you be willing to sell one cheap for a VFW Post to use with a funeral and parade rifle?...

I have one USGI stock, don't know what it is (not walnut, I can tell you that). I would be happy to send to to a VFW post for nothing more than the cost of shipping (would do it gratis, but money is...

I think the wood stock on the Precious Grace would actually blend in well with most natural envrionments.

Klick; Actually the stock on Precious Grace stands out like a beacon in this AO. The stock on Precious Vivie is almost perfect camo wise. rn49

Sort of suspected that, the dark rain forrest. Probably work better on the grasslands South of Cheney/Spokane. What about just staining it darker? That would preserve the nice laminate grain look, but...

How about some kind of no-slip rubber at the pistol grip and balance of the piece?
