Where are all the after market stocks for m305 ?!

Is that flag machined metal to fit on the picatinny? Pretty cool lol
to op:
I'd look into a boyds unfinished stock. There really isn't much sanding, and you could sand the exterior stuff outside then do the fitting indoors. Put whatever grip spots you want into the stock. For finishing I just used raw linseed oil and hung it on a hook in the safe. No bad fumes or anything.
We get it, Larry, Frank and you don't get on well with each other...can't deny they put out a badass product though, and you don't have to wait 8 weeks without wondering if they stole your cash....
My last order will make it to the US buyer in 10 days start to finish.
That's pretty amazing considering it has to go through customs before it gets to me, and then I have to re-package/re-label and mail to the end user.
Actually, I prefer wood or composite...
I have a troy chassis and an early seal edition sage that sit in my closet because I feel "meh" about them too.
I wasn't going where you thought I was with my comment but thanx for coming out
You can put that lure back in the tackle box as this fish ain't bitin LOLBesides, if you read the OP's first post he says:
"I would kill for a 140-300 price range stock. Wood or synthetic with some grip spots."
So , yer "pure ###" blackfeather doesn't fit the bill

I've seen your stocks in the flesh and they are done well, for what they were. Too bad about the endless "where's m14 doctor/45acpking" threads that seemed to choke up the boards when you were in business. The product for the price was fair, service for the price was not...
To the OP I think you are out of luck WRT a150-300 dollar stock.
I have been thinking of getting into this game for some time and have been handbuilding stocks for my M305s. The first was over 15 years ago and I have recently gotten back into it and built several new prototypes and completed/tested two. Once I have 4-5 different models 100% ready, I'll post them to see what sort of interest/market there would be. If I decided to get into it, it wouldn't be as handbuilt stocks, which is a very slow but satisfying process, but rather using 4 axis CNC based on the designs, possibly with a series of customisable features. Stay tuned (it'll be at least 6 months from now).
Damned faint praise. Thomas, thanks for sticking around and helping out where you can.

Hey 45ACPKing- the first was a thumbhole stock in black walnut, which I love to carve and plan to use again (I have used it for a couple of non-M305 stocks as well). The subsequent M305 stock prototypes are in a tropical hardwood (a fine grained teak that naturally colours a chocolate brown). One completed prototype uses a folding stock mechanism. I'm currently working on one that will have an adjustable cheekpiece and recoil absorbing system. I'd love to hear more about the ones you used to make and see some pics. Drop me a PM if you have the time. I'd love to hear from anyone who has been in the business of 'custom' stocks in Canada and for the M305/M14/M1A platform specifically. cheers.
When it comes to sampling modern chassis stocks, you and I have traveled similar paths.
I sold off all of my troy stocks years ago, but I still have an early navy seal grey sage in my closet.
Not because I feel meh about it, no - it sits because I moved the rifle into an RS.
I do wish somebody would produce a run of synthetic E2s.
Exact copies of the GI E2, but with the grip molded into the body of the stock.
I made a close copy of the E2 in carbon/glass composite and those that bought them seemed to really like them. BUT they weren't a hot seller when compared to the CQB and Hunter models. Still have the molds even.
As for folks bringing up my past business... Well, everything I made was with my hands, a few 100 stocks and M14 smithin at same time. You go try that, on your own, no employees and see where you get LOL
With an aluminum stock , you insert metal in cnc and hit a button... With composite stocks, every layer is cut and layed in by hand.
I sleep pretty good at night knowing that my work and efforts online have helped hundreds of canadian M14 nuts.
And, I'll always be the first guy in Canada to to have brought made in Canada composite M14 stocks to market.
