hey guys,

i need to fill a sythetic hollow stock that came with my rifle and dont want to buy a new one because id rather put the money towards a scope. i read around (yes, i used the search button for once) that it is a good way to make a cheapie stock feel..less cheapie. what do you use? expanding foam? some kind of epoxy? your own mixture? id like to know what is best from experience from the calguns community.

thanks,
pilot

What are you trying to accomplish?

Stock flex?

Add more weight?

Or just the way it feels?

i hate the hollow sound it makes when it is hit and the fact that the gun is a little front heavy. also i just want it to feel solid. i dont quite know what else it could acheive if it is solid but those are the main reasons.

I used expanding foam on a surplus HK91 stock for my PTR91 and it seems to work fine. It doesn't add weight, and really the only reason I did it was because I put a buffer on and I couldn't get the old buffer out of the stock, so they were clunking around.

can you tell that it is solid now and not hollow?

[sacshooter1]

Yeah, it sounds more solid when you tap on it with your knuckle as I just did. One word of caution is that the foam expands everywhere...all the little holes for screws and what not so some caution is needed.

i would prefer to add a little weight to it though, anything else that works good?

lol if thatll work

[petrole]

I've read of some folks dropping in pennies/washers into the expanding foam while it's still "wet" to add weight.

Spray a little, drop in some pennies, spray a little more, drop in some more pennies, etc.

What kind of stock is it?

Lead weights work best if you want weight.

well its the stupid saiga stock. most of us either own one or have shot one and the guns a little front heavy and that stock is crap.
