Want some advise and have some Wuestion on where to find one.

I built mine but if I can help with your questions, fire away.

What kind of information do you need?

On a sad note the Northstar has been discontinued.

Is a 2 or 3 spindle avaible
Where can I find one
Where can I get laminated wood
for stocks
I am looking on making XP 100
stocks

Want to cut something like this?


Best bet is watch on Craig's list. A basic single spindle is going to start at $1500-4000 new. Several here like skb and dpcd have built their own nice units. They can probably help you if you have the skill set to build it. Woodhunter found a nice double Northstar.
The link I posted Terrco is still making some of their cheaper units.

Unless you are going to make a bunch of stocks you would be probably better off to farm it out. Can't help on the laminated blanks. Be warned a laminated blank eats cutters for breakfast and they cut SLOW.

thanks so far

Thats what I want to turn out but also some rear grip.

Due to the shape of the stock it is hard to cut on a normal 4 axis machine. Most cutter work best when they are cutting along the top edge of the patter. Basically perpendicular to the surface. This pattern doesn't allow much of that. You spend a lot of time cutting along the edge. Doable but harder.
