Military Style Stocks

[gocards]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post, so I hope it's in the right section. I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is anywhere to buy WWII military-style stocks for modern rifles. I absolutely love the look of the full-length wood stock the surrounds the barrel, like on the M1 or 1903. Is there anywhere I can buy one like that for, say, my Remington 700? I know, I know...it's going to add weight... I know that I can buy an M1 Carbine look-a-like stock for a 10/22, but I'm hoping that there are stocks available for other rifles as well. Thanks for any help you can offer...

I dont think ive seen any for sale, you might have to get it custom made or atleast fitted to your action. Honestly i wouldnt be surprised if there are stocks to make a production gun, winchester, rem, etc look like a 1903 or sum such. I just havent run across them

There are some hunting rifles available with full stocks. These are usually referred to as Mannlicher type rifles. CZ makes a bunch of them. Ruger does from time to time. Not sure about other manufacturers.

Maybe that's something I could do down the road with my stock designs.... Hmmm... You guys need to stop making me think this way! haha.

Ruger M77 is available with Mannlicher furniture.

Well let me know if you make a wood Mannlicher (International) stock for an m1 Carbine.

That one would be quite tricky with a semi auto, lol.

Ive actually seen one of those. My LGS may still have it, he was asking 175 if i remember correctly

Someone just sold one right here. (or at least got to the "pending" status)

That's pretty neat. I'd have to wait on that though, until I obtain one myself.

Those full lengthers only look right on military stocks. Civilians ones just look uncircumsized...if I can say that here.

For the price of a new, semi-custom stock you can buy an actual milsurp rifle, original stock included...

I agree. You can get an '03 Springfield for $500-700 or thereabouts, for example.

I myself wouldn't put a milsurp stock on one of my rifles, but it's a possibility to providing the customer with a stock of his/her choosing.
