I'm not picky just looking for a wood stock with a pistol grip preferably.

I've been looking around online and I can't find anything. But I could justsuck at searching.

Anybody have any ideas?

I could be mistaken, but I don't think that TC made a wood stock for that model.
First check with them to see if they or their custom shop at Fox Ridge Outfitters ever made any for it.
TC Customer Service 603-332-2333
Fox Ridge 800-243-4570 (I don't know if this number is current or not)

You just might need a minor miracle to find any after market stock for it.
That means you'll either need to hire a stockmaker to carve or duplicate a customized stock or do it yourself. A hobbyist might offer the most reasonable price depending on the cost of the wood or [pre-shaped] blank.
Laminated wood may be a better choice but it's certainly more difficult to carve.
The whole idea sounds like it would be an expensive proposition. :)

Laminated wood is certainly stronger than regular wood, but it sure eats up the Nicholson #49 or #50 files (both used regularly by stockmakers). It's the darn epoxies that wear them out.

There's plenty of blackpowder gunbuilders out there. Perhaps you can convince one of them to make a stock for you. It's easier than making a long rifle stock.

I've built stocks from blanks before, my oh my is it a pain.

was hoping maybe they'd come out with one I never saw someplace.

I've even got a couple of blanks in my basement but that's a road I don't want to go down lol.

Thanks for trying y'all.

You can send the plastic one to one of many stockmakers and they'll do a 90% finished stock. Final inletting and finishing are a bit of a pain, but nothing like shaping a stock from a piece of hardwood!
