I like the 1, 8 and 16. They cost a bit, but they're worth it. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 6:02 pm DAMAGE Member Joined: 25 Oct 2007 Posts: 33 Wow those are very nice stocks.   Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 6:51 pm Westonhill Member Joined: 09 Nov 2007 Posts: 71 Location: San Diego, CA, USA And most likely they will all cost more than the rifle themselves Are there any custom synthetic stock makers out there?   Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 7:06 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" I think it would be pretty tough to make "custom" synthetic stocks unless they were made out of fiberglass- which would make them enormously heavy. Pretty much any sort of plastic would have to be molded- and having a mold that is only used once has got to cost a few dollars. It would be interesting to see if anyone has/is doing this and what kind of price they charge- but I bet it would be a fair bit more than a decent wood stock. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

It's Indonesian hardwood. It's also one of the nicest types of woods I've seen. I might be getting one when I ever have cash. I'd like a stock like that on my FWB 300. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 1:53 am 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 My FWB 300 already has exhibition grade wood and it'd probably be some type of crime to mess with it.

Besides, a used FWB 300 stock is still less valuable as a Ginb stock. An FWB300 stock in Europe is worth about E 100,- , while a Ginb stock costs about E 300,- and remain in the price range since they are pretty much unique. If (hypothetically) I'm ever going to sell my FWB, it'll (with a Ginb stock) probably be worth around E 450,- excluding a case, reblueing and revision. By the way, my FWB might be a newer version: _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 1:48 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Yeah, mine is ancient. Has a single spring piston setup. Shoots really well though, and anybody that knows wood, literally salivates over it. Kinda weird to me as wood isn't what make a gun shoot, and looks aren't gonna make one shoot any better . . .   Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 2:57 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands No, but it's the pimpin' you know. By the way, some woods are deforming with temperature, and with this in mind you might wish to change the wood. Off course, an olympic rifle probably has some kind of wood that can withstand slight to large temperature changes... I still need to decide whether or not I'll go for a Ginb stock, but until I got any money it'll just have to work. In my country we say "The eye also wants some!". _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2008 2:02 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Turns out they are not that expensive at all. Some guy I know has a Ginb Stock and it cost him E 260,- or about $380,-. If you own a $1000,- rifle... _________________ BIG GAP Ginb My Rifle     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
