I'm doing a poll on my stock designs for the Mosin Nagant. I wanna know whether or not I should look into making them for others. I am undecided, so let's see what you guys think.

I'm going to post some pictures of the designs, and you can tell me whether or not you'd like to see them produced.

Thanks.

This one would require a MAGPUL PRS stock andsome other hardware, but let's see what you think.

All of them look awesome and I would pick one up in a heartbeat (if priced right) the first and last stocks are my favorites. however the first stock does not look lefty friendly with the thumbhole so that'd be my biggest concern.
 
Do you have any prototypes made up? What do you think the weight would be. Ithink you have a good idea going here. Tons of people love their mosin's and they are cheap accurate rifles. Im sure you would sell plenty. Id buy a mosin if you made those stocks availible.
 
Let's answer some questions, and address some concerns.

ThatGuyHank: None of these have been fabricated as of yet. I can still tweak anything I need to. For a thumbhole, I would wait to drill and shape the hole until last. Say I opened up a business doing these stocks. I'd make a few of these stocks up to keep for inventory. I get an order for say a right handed stock, I drill at an angle through the right side of the stock. I get an order for a southpaw, I drill through the left. Final shaping and what-have-you will follow.

I'm a shooter, and I know comfort and egronomics are an important part of marksmanship, so I'd be willing to make the customers happy and make the stock work for them. I'd be willing to fit the stock to the individual with the specific dimensions included.


Brian923: As stated above, none of these have been made. Weight is a speculation and greatly depends on the process for making the stock. A laminated stock would probably weigh a little more. One with a steel bedding block would be a little weight as well.

My speculations for a walnut stock, just inletted to the rifle without the bedding blocks I'd say a little over two pounds, but I could be mistaken. The stocks shouldn't be too heavy until you get into the idea of a stock set up with the Magpul PRS buttstock assembly. What I'd need to do there is machine some blocks up to go on the back of the stock and straddle the rear action screw, with a plate that can accept a AR-15 buffer tube.

However, with the buffer tube, I'd probably have a few machined out of solid aluminum for weight as well as durability (though I'm not sure how the MAGPUL PRS installs on the AR-15, anyone who has one, can you clarify if it slides over the buffer tube?) so that way the rifle will be quite a bit more comfortable, but I'm sure the rifle would weigh around 12 or so pounds complete.

KAMAK: I'll check that website out. I love the SV-98 and if possible, I'd like to make my own. Maybe make a stock that looks like it in the near future? :evil:

I appreciate the support so far guys. With some luck, maybe I could make this a business.
 
The bottom green one with the Magpul PRS suits me well.

How about some adjustable stocks for the Savage .308 heavy barrel PD rifle. Stocks like that are $$$$. But I see no reason why someone couldn't build similar quality for less.

I mean, an adjustable Mcmillan stock isn't rocket science or anything.
 
KAMAK:
Is this close enough to a SV-98 for you? :evil:

Zerodefect:
I'm thinking that the PRS stock would work wonderfully with the design. I just need to know how the assembly instals on the buffer tube.
 
Those stocks look great and function able;.... but is this a case where the stock will be more accurate than the rifle. I know nothing about the Mosin, are they accurate?
 
About 6.2 pounds before turn down, according to Classic arms, however, they're pre-threaded to mate to a Mosin reciever. They are around $80 a barrel, and about $30 per reciever, or $99.99 for a builder's buy on this website (just make sure to click the C&R box and scroll down past the K96/11's and K31's):

This combo is what I plan on using on my very own project, though I'm not entirely sure which stock design I like best, I might just make one of each! :evil:

I know on the SV-98 styled stock, I'll make two, one with a 91/30 with standard barrel and an AK styled muzzle break, and on the other, a UK-59 barrel like the design shows.
 
It would surely depend on the price of the stocks. That said with the heavy barrels and receivers for sale it would make for a fun project.
 
Well I'll have to do some figuring here, but what would you expect the price point to be? I'm new to all of this, I've never done this before but always wanted to try.

Anyone with some info, feel free to PM me, I'm interested in doing this for real.
 
Many of the components of these designs are patented. How will the bipod attach, how is the action bedded, who made the molds for the stocks, are proprietary recoil pads being made? I would certainly hire an attorney and apply for patents before jumping into fabrication. If this is all the data you have, you are barely 1% of the way towards fabrication.

Pricepoint would be critical, I doubt many folks would spend 2-$300 on a stock for a beater Mosin. How much is accuracy limited in a Mosin by the furniture. I'm guessing a multitude of other variable play into accuracy gains more than the stock.

And not to be rude, but why the heck would anyone want to try to accurize a Mosin, spending 4-500 dollars when they could just spend the same on a heavy bbl Tikka or Remington?

I'm not out to turn a huge multi billion dollar profit on this. Mainly, I was making these for myself. It's cool that others like the idea. Might make a few here and there for those that want it. Of course, I'll make one stock of every model for testing (they're most likely going to be made of wood) so I can test the gains or losses of each stock.

As of now, these are just ideas, ready to be acted upon or changed at whim.

Like stated before, I know how rediculously priced some of the commodities that we know and love are, and I think it's rediculous that we allow ourselves to spend as much as we do when there are other alternatives that work just fine without spending a glob of money.

Again, these are just designs, if I have to, I'll mass order some recoil pads or what have you, or make my own for each rifle. Bear in mind I did say Custom.
 
Fireman 9731: Thank you, just takes some time and effort to get drawings like that. Taking a drafting class in high school helped me do this, seeing as it's a bunch of lines, :rolleyes:.

303Tom: Thanks for the link, I've known about them for a while. While a monte carlo stock is a neat design, there are people out there that would probably prefer their rifle's stock to be made of wood, or what have you, not to mention the sheer amount of usage and commonality of the monte carlo design.
 
I REALLLLLLLLLLLY like the mosin one on your photo page that had ak syle muzzle brake. Ive heard mixed reviews on that muzzle brake. i wonder if sv98 style could be ordered?
 
Thanks KAMAK, I don't know whether or not one could be ordered, but if I were to use an AK brake, the barrel would be threaded, none of that pin on or twist on bull crap.

Jamesacera:
I don't think I'm following correctly, but could you explain what that link is supposed to do? All I'm seeing is a modified picture of my MAGPUL PRS design. Please elaborate.
