New Stock - Anyone know anything about it?

Looks nice!

[baldie]

Pretty sure Ronin showed me a rifle built in this as a prototype, a while back ?

It looks like a mcree......half finished to me.

There are now at least 3 similar stocks on the market, they are all ridiculously expensive for what they are, and to be honest , with the standard of machining, the claim you can drop a barrelled action straight in, without bedding is bullshit.

Yes it will bolt into it, just the same as an action will bolt into an AI or a HS or anything with a bedding block. None of them work perfectly, and none of them will give 100% contact to an action like bedding will.

 

The one stock that does float my boat is the excellent, and very good looking TACMOD, but at $1400 is should be nice.

[gunnery]

looks like what is on the barnard 07

[Ronin]

The XLR stock is designed specifically for certain custom actions and some factory (rem700)

 

it os a modular design using ar15 style butt and a tube forend the tube will take underslung bipod or standrd Harris ( or similar)

 

Primarily it wasade as a one off for a large calibre 375 cheytac by the designer. It caused such interest that Kyle ( the designer)now markets them

 

they work, they are not expensive I am building my next rifle on one if these stocks.

Wish I'd seen it before I ordered a different stock ...available l/h and as a folder 'other' inlets as required

 

Bugger!!

 

 

Dave,

 

I'm back to front to you on how on how the xlr looks - I think the Mcree looks unfinished - angular, unergonomic and homemade-looking, but this looks like a finished product - the next step on to my eyes.

Looks nice!

 

 

Now that looks bloody awful.............

[Ronin]

I asked Kyle if he could do a particular inlet a couple of weeks ago.

 

He asked me to get the Drawing, so I e-mailed the action company - who within a day sent both myself and Kyle PDF drawings of the action.

 

 

Kyle needed a bit more info and liased direct with the company in question, a day later he is ready to go ahead with a custom inlet - no extra cost.

 

 

That is decent service.

 

 

The stock for my build is for Ultra Long Range targetry, no vermin, not stalking.

 

 

One mans meat, anothers poison.

 

 

 

I like it, its suits my requirements and ticks the boxes regards to functionality, strength and design aesthetics.

[Guest Scotland Rifles]

does nout for me, (rather ugly)

 

i have seen a better looking project stock sitting on a well known rifle builders bench not to far from me.

[baldie]

Actually, the more i look at it, the more its growing on me. The price isn,t too bad either.

 

I would really love a Tacmod, but the high price and import license means it aint gonna happen.

[Ronin]

You could always look at the Barnard 10 rifle design, although looking at the stock, it appears that the forend screws into the action on an outside thread......may be wrong though.

Ronin.

 

It looks to me like it may screw into the large bulky bit at the front of the action(that and the fore-end tube design spoils it for me) i would like to see it with a less bulky front section to the action and a lower for-end stock extension with a bi-pod attachment rather than the accessory tube rail affair.

 

the action and central part of the action with the magazine area is nice (without the rem bolt though) and the stock is a nice looking thing, if it functions as they say it does,

 

bob.

[Lurch]

I think that this made or has something to do with Nordic Components. The people who make the shell for the Ruger 10/22 Tactical looking rifle. Cant remember the model

[baldie]

Its nothing to do with nordic component Lurch...its a different company.

 

We have ordered 20 stocks from them today, in various forms.

They were shipping out via Lawton.....obviously not anymore.

 

I,ve ordered a folder for my 6mmBr to replace the laminate one on it.

 

The link to the bipods is good too, they look real nice bits of kit.

[Finman]

wouldn't be seen dead with one of these contraptions...I get it that they offer some advantages but the long and the short of it is that I have enough trouble going about my (rifle) business with normal looking rifles, imagine what would happen if anyone saw this thing in my hands...'A long sniper rifle with a huge scope...' remember these words from the Cumbrian incident of the bystander describing the (as we found out later) bunny basher that lunatic was using?

 

Finman

[baldie]

You mean the bystander who was at Dunblane, and is a member of the gun control network, and who saw a prime opportunity to drag legitimate shooters through the shite, with a deliberatly sensationalist comment ? That bystander ?

 

The people who dont like guns dont give a flying ###### what sort of stock its in. This is a legal stock, for legal weapons.

[Finman]

Does it matter which bystander??? History shows that, unfortunately, the frequencies they speak at are being picked up by the ears of those who have the means and ways to make the rest of us restrict the use or eventually lose what we (and the laws of the land) consider 'legal' and 'normal'...

The chap who is conducting the current firearms legislative review, has published the proposals for new law. He , luckily, has a brain, and paid no attention to the "huge sniper rifle with telescopic sight " type of fool. He actually said that to legislate against,single shot, moderated, bolt action .22,s would be legislating against the very basic type of firearm that vermin controllers used, and he would not recommend it.

 

You should be supporting the right of every shooter to use whatever gun they wish, no matter what it looks like, providing its legal.

Rifles should be seen on a range, or on private land only. Absolutely no one has ever seen any of my rifles, unless i,ve allowed them to....certainly not the public....in public....in the "flesh" so to speak.

I suppose you could argue that this place is public however....but hey, there are a lot worse things on the web.

 

It boils down to fighting, or rolling over basically. If you concede to the public that this type of stock is wrong, they will ban it.

If you concede then, that AR type rifles are wrong, they will ban them too.

If you then concede that huge great target rifles with cammo paint jobs are wrong, they will then ban them...

When all those have gone....they will come for your wooden stocked sporting rifles.......and who will be left to help you fight ?

 

I sent a submission in to the enquiry......i like to fight.

[whoowhoop]

Baldie, that sounds very reminiscent of Pastor Niemoller:

 

They came for the Communists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Communist;

They came for the Socialists, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Socialist;

They came for the labour leaders, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a labour leader;

They came for the Jews, and I didn't object - For I wasn't a Jew;

 

Then they came for me - And there was no one left to object.

There are several versions of this, by the way.

Is that right Dave? If so, Bloody Hell, these lowlifes will stoop to any mean trick!

[sean c]

I love the look of these stocks especially with the underslung bipod. I shall be having one one my new stick.

I have a feeling that you have misunderstood what I said. If you read my initial message, you will notice that 'I will not be seen dead with one of these contraptions'. Don't know how this has become 'no-one should have one of these contraptions', as this was not what was initially said. I own very few woodstocked rifles, and only because the discrimination of the gun component industry against left handers (since we are talking about conspiracies ).

 

I make a point of showing my rifles to anyone so that they do not become objects of fear rather of curiosity. I talk to them about them, show them what they can do, invite them to handle them and ask them to have a go. If a rifle is seen regularly it does not become something out of the ordinary and only associated with warfare and crime, as the media would like to portray it. Just note the differences between Scotland and England...

 

This is a public forum, we are allowed individual opinions, and that is what it boils down to. If rifles furnished with the stock in question appear frequently on the stalking and varminting fields, then I shall have to eat my words.

 

So, since there is no deep dyke, no need for high horse,

 

best wishes,
