Replacement stock for AR-7

[mmatt]

I just got a new Henry US Survival rifle (quite pleased with it BTW, watch for a full review in the coming weeks) but I really want a different stock for it. The one it comes with is great in the sense that everything fits into it nice and neat (and I will be keeping it so I can use it for its intended use anytime I go camping) but I'd like to fabricate something a little more comfortable.

The original stock is really wide and is a little unwieldy to hold comfortably. I know that there are some great stocks available in the US, but getting them to Canada seems to be nigh-unto-impossible.

I was thinking of taking the stock from a Crosman 2289 and rigging it up to fit on the AR-7. The end result would look something like this:

Problem is, I don't want to buy a new pellet gun just for the stock, so I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find one for a few dollars. Maybe you have one laying around in your basement that you want to get rid of...?

Thanks!

I've seen the stocks available from the states, and I've seen guys who have made adapters and such. I'd love to try my hand at making one eventually. I may be a little naive, but the ones I've seen are made from a ar pistol grip, a bent piece of steel and a carbine stock adapter.

As for the airgun stock, there were similar stocks made for the crossman 1377C that can tire used to sell. I think they're similar in profile.

they also have a wood one available with a forearm.

Keep us posted on how it goes, I would like to see the finished project. Looks like a good project........i think I have an idea....
