TOZ 78 stocks?

There are a few custom stock makers here in Canada that could work something out for you. But thats an expensive option.
 
Why not just rub some linseed oil and bring out the grain? My toz-99 (semi auto) has the darker wood and I am quite pleased with it. A new stock, even if they were available would probably cost you the same as the gun and not really add to the value of the gun. Textured spraypaint is ok too but this is more of a 'classic style' .22 and I think you should keep the wood. (my opinion) go to home depot of whatever, buy some varnish in walnut (or darker) and use that if you get the light wood color. Or just spray bomb away ... LOL. Up to you.

Cheers,

Alex

p.s. If you speak Russian or know someone who does (I don't) print some info from this site http://faq.guns.ru/toz78.html my buddy told me that this gun can be made real accurate, etc. etc. There are some pics on the site so the link is not totally useless. Maybe you could use babblefish.com to translate it?
 
i find the ergonomics of the wood stock very good, the semi-pistol grip is alot more "pistolish" than im used to, but that feature and the overall lightness of the gun make it feel very solid to me.

-by the way, on that russian website^^ what are those washers or whatever that are around the screw holes in the stock?? because my gun doesnt have them.:confused:

***I was just on Armrus' website and it says the Toz-78 is sold out:(
 
Ok, spoke with my buddy. He installed these washers (you have to do it, they are not on the rifle). The washers elimiate any contact of the bbl with the wood except for the point where the gun is held together by the screw thru the stock, thus creating a free floated bbl and obviously improving accuracy. Hope this helps.

That is exactly what i was planning on doing.... do you think i will have to sand the stock before application of an oil? what is the original finish to this rifle? oil? varish?

I was planning to use an oil-varnish... CIRCA Antique Danish Oil, in walnut... do you guys think it'll work? do i need to sand it? clearcoat?

I'm 6'2" with long arms. .22s as a rule are to small for me, and I'd like to build a stock that doesn't feel like a toy. I'd actually prefer either a pistol grip or possibly a thumb hole. I was reading a thread on Rimfire Central that gave me some ideas.

Always looking to upgrade my Toz. Any chance that a CGN that reads Russian can post a translation of that faq somewhere? Haven't found an online translator that will do Russian to English.
