would you want a Mag in a Wood Stock?

[LK-13]

If you could get the Mag of your Choice put into a Wood Stock,
would you want one?

please explain your reasons yes or no.

[Pzippy]

I wouldn't. Wood is heavy and I don't like the look of it.

[Chaos_Theory!]

Agreed, i say nay to the wood stock idea. Now if you could get different style composite stocks and put mag parts in them i may be interested.

[Mongoose]

i agree something composite would be nice.
wood is too heavy imo
now a carbon fiber stock would be nice! :wow:

[Raven001]

No but if you do stock work, my AK47 needs some love....

[Anjin3515]

I actually like the look of these....but fear wood might just be too heavy.

[Hexis]

It's not a rifle. There is basically no recoil. Why have a stock at all?

[mostpeople]

I would like an m-14 type..

but im not buying a new gun just saying :)

I like stocks for stability...even with no recoil.

Just stating my opinion. I don't think they are worth anything.

It was worth MOTM last month ;)

I say do what YOU want. Not every marker can be the fastest, or lightest, or most expensive. But it can be perfect for you. I think it would look awesome if you take your time and do it right.

[Freebird]

yes, i do believe that there should be some sort of "FULL STOCK" mag conversion. I created my own, which won MOTM. The stock is for feel and stability, growing up as a hunter i feel more comfortable holding a paint "rifle" over holding a "regular" mag. Im going to be creating a full write up on my Mag M14 rifle as soon as i get some spare time with school. I will try to include as many specs as i can, and possibly a video.


But as for the weight of wood....

suck it up and haul it around.
or create a nice fiberglass one, but that adds more money.
sumthinwicked has a BEAUTIFUL stock blank for sale that just beggs for a mag drop in.



EDIT:
not really trying to advertise but, i do custom mag/stock conversions for a price. if anyone is interested let me know.

[RavishingEddie]

I would like a woodstock on a phantom. Now that would be sick.

i put a PMI trraccer in a fiberglass stock and made it a bolt action :cheers:

im workin on makin my phantom a lever action :shooting:

I totally respect your opinion.I know stocks aren't for everyone.
For me...I just like the feel of them...and everyone knows you shoot better when you feel comfortable with your setup

[LK-13]

i agree something composite would be nice.

now a carbon fiber stock would be nice! :wow:

and in carbon fiber the stock alone will cost a minimum of $685.00USD + the cost of custom inletting.

sorry I'm not going to get into the synthetic stocks, i wont pay that for a Paintball gun and i can't believe anyone else would either.

[LK-13]

No but if you do stock work, my AK47 needs some love....

I'm Canadian and living in Canada, so i don't see that happening any time soon.

[LK-13]

you don't think what is worth anything,
your opinion?
Wood Stocks?
both?

:rofl:

[LK-13]

OK going out on a limb here,
I'm getting the feeling that the majority of the people here on the AO play tournament style games. or more specifically Speed Ball.

i will concede that a wood stock is more of a Woods Ball, Mil/Sim, Scenario type of thing.

as for not being worth it, i don't see hiding behind a balloon and shooting hundreds of rounds for no good reason as being worth it.

i also don't see any reason to shoot more than 15bps or 900rnds/minute which is faster than a great many real steel automatic firearms.

but lets not turn this thread into a posturing or pissing contest.
that was not my purpose.

I'm building several of these for myself, because I LIKE THEM. no other reason is needed really.
I've posted these threads to see if anyone else might be interested in one,
the source for these beautiful Wood Stocks offers a large price reduction for an order of 10 stocks or more,
i'm buying 4 personally so i was just seeing if anyone out there might want a stock for their Mag.

BTW,
anyone ever considered a riot gun version?

friend of mine is a riflesmith and the laminated stocks are very heavy....especially after you clear coat them.....but they are beautiful....also the weight is good for bench rests

Someone payed 5K for an arura ego, some people shell out 1800 for an SL74. paying over a grand for a paintball gun is not all that uncomon.

good point.

you could always hollow out the tail stock.

are you guys just picky about weight, or is it really that big of an issue?

think of the guys in Iraq that are lugging an M249 S.A.W. around...
Wood Stock doesn't seem so bad by comparison really.

even think back to the M-1 Garand, one of the most beautiful rifles ever made.

guess i'm just of another mind about this.

[LK-13]

people are doing that all the time.
have a look over on MCB.

[LK-13]

It's not a rifle. There is basically no recoil. Why have a stock at all?

no offense but your being a little short sighted.

[Anjin3515]

the more I think about it the more I am seeing these a beautiful works....almost to nice to mess up paintballing. Woodworking is a real skill...takes talent to make it look good!!

If my arms werent so darn short.... :eek:

I am sure these will turn out great.

[Warwitch]

I'm Canadian and living in Canada

Kind of redundant dont you think :p



Anjin: is this what you are planning for your new Tac-one?

[LK-13]

Kind of redundant don't you think :p

not really, i could be a Canadian living in the USA, just can't work unless i have a visa or green card. well not work legally that is.

but I'm a White Guy, you Yanks are too busy looking for Mexicans or Middle Easterners,
you'll never notice little Ole' me. :D

[Dend78]

only issue i have with a wood stock aside from weight is it will get beat up and look crappy, and i hate to see a nice wood stock get trashed. composite is the way to go it can take a beating and its light. it doesnt have the same beauty as wood but it would still serve its purpose

:cheers:

[Warwitch]

I think you should do an A-Team style Mini-14 Mag :shooting:

I think these are beautiful. But a full rifle may be to long for me. I really do have short arms !
That and I think I like a more "tactical" look. These look more like hunting rifles...not that that is bad.

Right size...lol..but now...no stock.....looks pretty cool!

[SR_matt]

it would be cool. if i had money and use i might buy it but i would look for a few things

stabilized wood
hollowed out and balanced well
good choice of colors
well seated and looks like it is
possibly incorporated air lines to get the tanks in or just below the stocks


i would really like to see a production of it jsut not sure how many people would buy it (heck unless i win the loto i wouldnt buy it now just because i have little money and dont get to play much lately)

-matt

[LK-13]

well I'm not alone in liking this style of stock,
but this is not the only choice and i will be choosing a variety of stock styles. kinda for different days, moods that kind of thing.

this is pretty much the exact same stock i plan to use for at least two of my guns. only in different wood tones.
this one was inletted/fitted by Flatlines Up over on the UMS forum.
