What Is A Laminate Stock

You can for example take a wood chisel orient it parallel with the layering of the veneers and whack it all you want with a hammer.

What is a laminate stock.

Our laminated gunstocks are composed of 1 16 birch veneers which have been completely saturated with colored dye then hydraulically pressed and bonded together using a superior resin adhesive. As touched upon earlier laminated stocks are not only highly distinctive and colorful but are far stronger and more stable than one piece stocks. I was planning to use raw linseed oil rlo and have a kit from garand gear. When you look at the science inherent in the production of wood gunstock blanks you realize that a boyds gunstock is more than just a piece of laminated wood that s been carved into the shape of a gunstock.

This stock is a synthesis of all the fast handling and easy to carry design elements found in the most elegant examples of the classic style. I ve cleaned the stock down to the original wood and want finish it in an original issue style. With adhesive impregnating the tiny spaces between the wood fibers it bonds permanently giving the wood fibers 50 more rigidity more strength and much more durability than solid wood. Now available with or without laser checkering.

This process results in a stock that is. Laminate rifle stocks are more elegant. It s truly a marvel of science and technology. Synthetic stocks which are plastics of various types do not draw in moisture expand or shrink.

The stock will not split along a seam. They don t warp either. Their stability in all conditions of heat cold and humidity ensures constant accuracy once the rifle has been properly zeroed to your chosen load. Insist on a stocky s laminate.

An increasingly popular alternative to synthetic gunstocks. One of the best current alternatives is laminated hardwood stocks. I recently bought a dot 1943 mauser 98k with a red glue laminate stock in dirty condition no significant dents or gouges.
