midge28 6 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 this is the second stock i have made now, i have built this one for me mate and shooting buddy. , it is american black walnut with american maple spacers and tipped on forend and capped below grips with iroko, was trying to get some ebony but could not get hold of any so my friend at the woodyard suggested iroko, this has a lovely grain and glad i used it. took me a little longer to do this one but has come out a beauty and me mate was well pleased . i am half way through a third one already so will be letting one go, cant keep em all lol.

I'd like one but ive got an s200 not a 400 Hughesey cheers mate. i know the inletting on the s200 is differant and cause i only have a s410 i would not know the measurements for the inletting for your gun, would be ok if you lived closer and i could look at ya gun and do it. i,ll have to buy some new guns now just so i can make the stocks for them. lol Quote Link to post
hughesey1552 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 haha you should ask your local gun shop to lend you the gun and then sell the stocks to them. # Hughesey Quote Link to post
