Looks good! After I saw this I wanted to try it. Here is what I did....
Plan on putting a Morgan adjustable recoil pad on it.
How much for three of your pillars?

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
looks good FFRich. I am working on a A3 style 10/22 stock for another member, I should have pics up soon, it turned out to be more of a challenge than the A5 style stock.

Holy cow Batman. And you didn't want to start from scratch? It turned out great. I have a 77/22 I want to do the same thing too. I'm goingt o float a group buy for aBoyd Tacticool stock for the 77/22 but will try this first.
Very nice work. I have an A5 I can use as a model.
Thanks for the inspiration.

I want to do this to a 77/22 also that is why I used a spare 10/22 stock to experiment on.

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
Here is the stock complete. I machined a few 1/4" ABS butt spacers allowing adjustable LOP, as well as grinding down a decelerator butt pad. Current LOP is 13.5"

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
Do you notice a great decrease in recoil since adding the decelerator?
All kidding aside... That is one slick setup. You sir are a pro!

It definitely wasn't necessary, I had it laying around. I guess if someone was ultra recoil sensitive......

I have been inquiring about having a few stocks duplicated, a A3 style and the above A5 style. I need to contact McMillan and get their blessing, although not a copy it is modeled off of their stock designs.
Better safe than sorry.

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
So you motivated me to do my own project. Have a cheap stock that I bought off of a SH'er from his XCR that I've been using on my 223. About 2 days into it (total of 3 hours) and it's going really well. I've been using regular Bondo since it was cheap and manageable.
I'll get pics up, but wanted to ask what gel coat material did you use? I should be ready to coat early next week.
The big lessons I've learned is that I should have started with a monolithic block of filler and the shaped down instead of trying to add a little at a time. Also learned that smoothing Bondo is easier said than done, but that patience is a virtue.

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
Update with improvements to the process. The original stock was produced using fiberglass body fillers and sanding to shape, followed by a high quality two part auto primer and then painted and cleared. After producing a few stocks using this method, I have improved the process considerably, which produces much more consistent results and a much stronger stock. The new process uses a two part (left and right) fiberglass mold, the factory wood stock is cut down to fit in the mold, then the mold is sprayed with fiberglass gel coat. After the gel coat is applied, both halves of the mold are filled with fiberglass and resins and the wood stock is then inserted in the mold halves.
after grip area texturing, paint, clear coat and pillars installed

Awesome! Nice work. Gives us some crazy ideas for the old 10/22 stocks we have laying about.

I would say its time to buy yourself a URL and go into business.

Would it be totally out of the question to have a stock like this molded for a m69 romanian military 22 trainer?

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
Beautiful stock- if you had a mold that could make the entire stock you could mass produce these for commercial sale.
The stock is pretty bad ass.

Id like one for each of my Marlin 25MNSS, Mauser 22 trainer, Kimber Gov modern 82, and my future purchases Savage FV-SR, and CZ 452 American...
Not a 10/22 fan at all!

I will be offering a non-inletted version that can be opened up for any rimfire action. There has been a lot of interest in other action inletting but I am focusing on the 10.22 for now, and will offer a few other stock designs for the 10/22. Also in the works is a 77/22 stock. The stocks have come a long way since this thread started, they are being produced in molds now so the process is much more consistant and the product is better. I am working on a website, but for now I will focus on orders here before I go outside of the Hide, if it goes anywhere it is because all the interest and business I have received from the Hide members.

Most likely around late December, but my main focus is catching up on the mini A5 style stocks, they all come out of the same mold.

how about some pics of the 10/22 dropped in that GAP camp stock? I might be interested in the same setup. I have a 10/22 that is so accurate I feel like it deserves a better stock than a hogue overmoulded stock.

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics
hey i have a question,
what did you do to get from this stage
to this stage
did you just lay down heaps of filler and mould it together ? or lay down "layers" of fibreglass matting to build it up to your desired shape ?
i would like to do similar to a plastic stock i have.
thanks
