Aluminum Stock vs Wooden Stock

[Vassili Zaitsev]

Hi Sniper,

I saw the site but they all looks bulky but for Firearms section they are sleek. I was thinking if we have something in India...i actually like the stock of M300 as it is sleek and nice and i would like to have the same looking synthtic stock.Is there any place where i can send the size and the specification of M300 and get it done in synthetic?
I donot have a workshop to alter the stock as per the specification.

thanks for the information.

Yes it is possible but a few alterations WILL be required to make it fit.
Check here - http://www.staffs-synthetic-stocks.co.uk/guns.shtml
Or you can contact gamo / crosman etc and ask them to ship you only a synthetic stock and you can alter it yourself.
you can google around and look.

No idea mate.
maybe you can try and create a fibercast mould for it. but im not sure it would withstand the recoil.

Aluminium stocks do exist, but generally on exotic BR type guns, or simillar ones in general. An example is the RS-1 target gun.

The barrel in this case is fully floated from the recoil lug on, and the action/trigger group is machined from a single piece of metal. The overall gun is very rigid.

Another example of a metal stock would be something like the STGW 57 where again the barrel is fully floated from the chamber, but does have Poly utherane foreend attached onto the stock for comfort. The reciever is actually one piece steel, and the trigger group is in a second piece. Again the rifle is very rigid.

The you have Aluminium bedding. These are typically in synthetic stocks, which have aluminium inserts, and pillars. The conventional wisdom being that this offers greater rigidity to the action than no bedding or normal bedding. My 6 BR has this. I do not have a conventionally bedded stock to compare with. Some people will also apply conventional bedding compound over aluminium bedding for a better fit and greater rigidity. I have no way of verifying this.

All synthetic stocks can in principle be replaced with wood stocks and vice versa. What advantage one would offer over the other, in an airgun I have no clue.

Thanks for the info.

I think the initial question was with regard to local airguns like IHP etc and not the cream

No I am talkinga bout the cream and not IHP. 20 K differenece is between wood and alu stock of Walther or Feimwokbau
