elsinletted blank for CZ 550 Magnum
I am trying to put together a rifle on a 550 action. I want to use a large almost untapered barrel so I will need a stock with a large wide fore end to accommodate the barrel.
I would like a drop in synthetic but I can't find one that has a fore end large enough to accommodate the barrel that I want to use.
Any suggestions?
If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

steve505Matrix Gunsmithing built a pair of 550 Magnum , the Shirley cartridge,
Using B&C cz 550 drop in stock. I oversized the standard barrel contour
20/1000 in the barrel channel and once passed the forearm, used a straight
Barrel to the muzzle for a 0.825” diameter.
This all added about 6oz.

slivers"Inletted Blank"?? Contradictory terms when it comes to synthetics. I've seen inletted wood blanks, ready to shape, but never an inletted synthetic, ready to shape. I have seen pre-shaped synthetic stocks that need to be inletted. But, I take it you want a 'drop-in'. It has been years since I bought from McMillian, but if they inlet for the 550, they'll make you a 'drop-in' stock. McMillian used to offer un-inletted , but shaped, stocks. You could go that route, but then comes the inletting!

dpcdFor Inletted blanks with fat forearms, I use Richards. They aren't plastic though. I think they use that ancient material we used to call, wood. Hunters from the Paleolithic era of the 1990s used it. It has fallen from favor, much like the obsidian spear and the atlati.

elsGentlemen Thank you for your responses. I think one of those routes will get me where I need to go.

I think MPI used to offer this - this is NO PROMOTION of MPI stocks, as I found them odd, ugly, and inconsistent

sliversYes, MPI offered 'blanks' that were shaped and way over inletted that required lots of glass work and paint to finish. Brown Precision offers blanks that need to be finished, also. There can be considerable work involved with either, Brown Precision being the 'better' (and easier to complete) of the 2 mentioned. No doubt of better overall construction and quality of materials, too (Brown Precision).

farbedoCould try Wayne at American Hunting Rifles. He has a synthetic stock he uses.

sliversBansner and Company, in Pa., also can supply synthetic "blanks". But I see no listing for the 550. They do make a "Classic" design for the M98. I have used Bansner in the distant past (20yrs ago, or so) and was satisfied with the blank(s) I bought from them. As always, a synthetic "blank" takes time and effort to complete.
