Who make's asquare's coil check (chunk) stocks....

seems that this could be shaped into a passing stock

Jeff,

I think they get them from Steinway & Sons. You know, the piano makers.

They sure do look like piano legs to me.



George

Piano legs?

At least those would be somewhat graceful...

they look more like my pooltable legs...

There's a sawmill 5 miles West of Sturgis in Whitewood, SD that makes Creosote telephone poles and railroad ties. I think they are using reject Dakota Arms employees. They have lots of BIG forklifts to move such large pieces of lumber around.

I could be wrong though....

I heard they make their own. I tried buying stocks only for the blasters, but they wouldn't sell them separate.Ed.

Hi Ed,
MPI makes the synthetic stocks for A-Square and will sell them. MPI stocks may leave a little to be desired but they do work.
Take care,
Dave

Dave,
i got a an MPI from brownells.. it went back the next day... horrible horrible stock... not enough material to checker or shape

Dave-I looked at those. Not heavy enough. Have fill with shot and epoxy.I can saw my now. I like heavy old swamp maple. Shot my 458HE about 1700 times with maple stock,
Ruger bedding bar, and no cross bolts. Ed.

470 Mbogo,What do you think of this stock for a working rifle?Function is more important to me than looks.I here these stocks really help tame recoil.Is this true?

I really shouldn't pick on a company I know very little about. I do know many hunters have had success with their products. They make a rifle that tries to minimize the beating the shooter takes therefore reducing the natural reaction to flinch.

After shaping a hundered or so Rigby and other big bores while working for Dakota I did learn a little. The straighter the comb and the closer to boreline the less the rifle comes up. The more weight you put in the stock the less it will kick you and the more likely the stock will split. Digging a half pound of wood out of the inlet and filling it with Bisonite will keep it from splitting unless the stockmaker inletted it with a hammer and the top of the inlet was still too tight. The tang on a Dakota is a very good splitting wedge. If you have a ton of Bisonite just behind the recoil lug and not around the whole action the thin sections of the sides of the mag box will bow under recoil and still split the stock. Mercury recoil reducers are VERY loud when the mercury sloshes back and forth just carrying a rifle. Two are twice as loud and any extra weight will reduce the recoil. I would much rather use lead shot in a sea of glass so the angry critter I'm trying to sneak up on won't hear the mercury. A longer open grip with a reasonable circumference allows the shooter to hang on to the rifle better. It also lets the shooter move his hand further back keeping his middle finger knuckle from getting smashed. Checkering really works especially on a 450 Dakota. Open sights will never come back and whack you in the eyebrow. The 416 Rigby is a lot of fun to shoot prarie dogs with off hand!

Sorry for insulting Asquare's stocks. I just can't bring my self to shaping a stock similar to them.
