Has anyone tried 3D printing for an F-Class stock?

[Joe R]

My wood laminated rifle fell off the rifle rack onto the concrete slab. Now I have a busted stock and I'm thinking about synthetics, but none of the fiberglass ones have a 15 1/2 LOP. They all require adjustable butt plates and I detest them.

Has anyone tried 3D printing for an F-Class stock?

That takes a very big 3D printer by current non-commercial standards.

See the Do It Yourself Stockmaking in the Gunsmithing forum.

Betcha it could be pinned and repaired and put back to work.
Got photo's ??

You'd be better off making a butt extension piece. 3D printing is not well suited to stock making for a lot of reasons.

This 284 Winchester XP-100 has been back working for 5-6 years now...

Come in from underneath with screws and glue on both sides, just behind the trigger guard, and then cover the screw holes...

This gives me hope.

Thanks

Fell coming up on the porch a few years ago and broke this one too, patched it back up and have been shooting it for a while now with no problems..

I have been very successful with Loctite 420 glue(very thin super glue) and I put it in by the drop till it starts to not take anymore and light clamping . It sets up and it penetrates the rest of the wood very well, very strong.

I had this one pinned and you wouldn't know.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice.

I'm shipping the stock back to Tommy Shurley for him to fix. Since he's the one that built it, he should be the guy to fix it. He said he can turn it around in one day. The scope, well that's another story for another time.

Kindest regards,

Joe

Trust me, I was beyond crying. More like a 72 hour DEEP depression, where one is completely numb.

That's not in the cards.
I already have 3 March 10-60 which IMO is the best March scope. I'm not alone in feeling that way. If you look at Shiraz's rifle that's what he uses. He's the distributor for March and could have any model of his choice.
