polaris425Remington 788 .223 after market stock ??? Thumbhole
Does anyone know of a manufacture that makes a thumbhole stock for a Rem. 788 .223 ? Looking for something to upgrade a fine shooting 223 a good quality synthetic stock would work as an alternative. Thanks for ANY replies...

armadilloHave you checked Richards Microfit? They even made me one for a Remington 600. It did take a long time for it to get done, but they do some actions that others don't.

Gerrypolaris,
Can't help much with the Thumbhole Stock - simply don't know who has something like that available although Armadillo's advice is Spot-On - I'm sure an aftermarket provider can make one up.
Another source could potentially be Elk Ridge Gunstocks:
http://www.reamerrentals.com/stocks.htmI have a vanilla-flavored black synthetic Butler Creek stock on my Remington 788. A good drop in Stock and functions fine in spite of what the Tupperware Doomer & Gloomers say.
I bought it from Midsouth Shooters Supply quite a few years ago; so couldn't comment on current availabilty.
Occaisionally Bell & Carlson also have some odds & ends on their website, too.

seafire2Richard's Micro Fit and also check out Boyd's Gunstocks... they will direct you to one of their dealers..
boyd's did have them available, but recently they revamped the way they do business.. since their main focus has gone from those of us wanting individual stocks, to catering to the big name manufacturers, who order in buik....
