NS522 Replacement Stock Group Buy?

[OldSavage]

I did some digging around and found a guy in the states that inlets for these rifles. His prices seems to range from $150 - $200 and can go up depending on options. I'd like to speak to him about possibly putting together a laminate stock for around $125 if we have enough interest (maybe even cheaper).

Here is the guys website http://www.donstith.com/sporter_class.html

We would have to figure out the logistics of importing them.

UPDATE - I found a stock maker in Canada that may be able to do it. If there is interest I will push a little harder.

Any takers?

Price and pics of product fron Canadian builder would be great.

The american gentlemen has the inletting pattern and a few different styles whereas the Canada gentlemen would have to work from a supplied action (mine) and then design the stock around that. We would have to come up with a design that people would be interested in.

I'd be interested in one at that price

The first Canadian company I spoke with was not interested in inletting for a new pattern.

I did speak to another company that would offer a walnut stock in a variety of tactical and hunting styles for $160. The rough details can be found below:

UNFINISHED STOCKS (Norinco NS522)
included: inletting done, Recoil Pad, swivel studs (front and rear) and initial 80grit sanding
needed: 120-220 grit sanding, staining and final clear (made by customer)
Qty: 20 stocks
Price: $160.00/each


I'm in for one.

Here is the guys website (search MCRS Tactical). You can see the styles he has available. These stocks would be made from walnut.

I thought there would be more interest. I also thought I could get stocks at a lower price too.

[barsik]

me too, please. put me down for 1. Don Stith is known for his work with benchrest rimfire rifles, and he does very nice work.

ok, read a few posts down, still in for 1.

I would love to upgrade the chu wood to walnut and finish it off myself! Any chance it could be a montecarlo style? That is one feature I enjoy on my 522.

 

[OldSavage]

He can do a sporter style. There is one on his website

it would be nice if we could see photos of the actual stock that they would make. My suggestion would be a ambidextrous walnut sporter stock.

Look on the guys website. Pics are there

Might be interested

Sorry, I kind of got distracted. Life has a way of doing that sometimes.

So I have no deal with the gentlemen in the states but the guy here in Canada seems eager. Due to some personal issues I am abandoning my NS522 project. I can provide the details regarding the stocks if someone wants to take the lead. The pricing was based on 20 stocks but I'm sure you could get it down a bit.

Thanks,
