My New Talon Stock (UPDATED PHOTOS)
Finally got the balls to disassemble the existing grip and trigger guard on my TalonSS… 😯 Nice trigger component cover, WTF, it was like a land mine once the screw was removed, I can’t believe it went back together and still works…
Sketched up two different designs, i’m trying to design the stock to be functional and cool looking. The idea was to make two test stocks out of blue foam to experiment with carving around the fingers and thumb…
Well every hardware store I went into looked at me like I was nuts, it was tough to keep my mouth shut when a ‘know it all’ in Home Depot said there was no such thing… 🙄
So I had some 1/2″ MDF laying around and decided now was the time and glued them together after fitting in the trigger area and the frame rail…
Overall width is 1.5″ from three layers of 1/2″. Spent about 3 hours carving with assortment of chisels, pocket knives and rasps…
I like it so far and even though it is a test stock it may be worthy of being the real thing!!!
Probably going to do a black or gray coat of rubber or flat black paint… Trying to get it together for the weekend shoot at the range!
Thanks for looking!

Wow.
I told ya you would like it. 😛
You did that wood proud, that finish is superb. What did you use? I want some, LOL.
I had some “difficulty” too when installing the stock. I took a tap and rethreaded the pivot from both sides to make it easier to start the bolt.
Then I rolled up a little wad of masking tape and stuffed it in the slot just above the pivot so it wouldn’t turn when putting the bolt in.
You might consider adding a bit of bottle support at the butt-end of the stock. Your cheek will be able to push the bottle side to side ever so slightly. Make it unable to move and you are solid.
