would you want a Mag in a Wood Stock?

[LK-13]

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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]

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

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.

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....

I am sure these will turn out great.

I'm Canadian and living in Canada

Kind of redundant dont you think



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

[LK-13]

Kind of redundant don't you think

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.
