duplicating stocks-suggestions??

[coop44]

Been thinking of setting up a stock duplicator for some time now, new wood stocks are hard to find or almost nonexistant for a lot of milsurp guns. I can build or buy the copier. Wood is not a problem, a bit pricey for the really nice hardwoods, but not bad for laminates and plain hardwoods.


My question is: which stocks would you like to see duplicated?

I would like a model 51 Husqvarna or FN commercial mauser stock.

With the soaring costs of most target rifles I believe there could be a market for a varmint/target stock for the M98 size Mausers and their variants, like JGR mentions.
Finding a hardwood with less density to keep them on the lighter side might be difficult though. Maybe beech?

beech is too soft, birch would be best, why light? I want some heft to a bench, varmit gun.

I just posted a ad looking for some who duplicates stocks. I'm building a switch barrel Mauser 22 17Mk2 on a 22 Mauser action. I have two barrels both Shaw and the barrels are held on by a set screw knob. the barrels are fill 1" I will turn them down to .920 so the stock I have is to narrow on the for end. I would like a laminate stock. SO I think that there is a market for someone to duplicate stocks. I thought about doing it myself but I'm into metal work and bluing so another expense for more tooling and machines will have to wait.

thanks everyone, if things go right I will be able to cut my first stocks in 60 days, military profile stocks, and then sporter stocks.

Hey Coop44
I just got a quote for my mauser stock lots of $ and a 6 week wait. so when your up and running let me know.
Thanks

Coop44 do you need something smaller to try early for a test run? I have a little H&R 929 .22 revolver, black frame with those uninteresting shiny black plastic grips. It would look really cool with a pair of identical grips in wood.

Maybe there's already something like what you're setting up, but for pistol grips? Anybody around Portland doing this?
