Stock Blanks
The beginning of a true custom-stocked rifle begins
with the very best stock blank. Fully inletted with "Uncle
Mike's" QD swivel studs installed, Brown Precision fiberglass, graphite or
Kevlar stock blanks need only minor fitting, prepping, sanding and
painting. If you want something different, give us a call!
Stock Materials
Brown Precision pioneered
the use of fiberglass, graphite and Kevlar in rifle stocks and
we have more experience working with these materials than any
other stock maker. All Brown Precision stocks, whether
fiberglass, graphite or Kevlar, are totally impervious to
temperature and moisture variations. Other stocks cannot
carry this claim.
Fiberglass
Unlike wood stocks,
fiberglass is absolutely stable and totally unaffected by
humidity, rain and extreme temperature variations - thus
maintaining its bedding and, most importantly, your rifle's
point of impact. Lighter and stronger than wood,
resistance to brush damage, breakage and scabbard wear,
fiberglass eliminates many major sources of disappointment and
frustration during and after a hunt.
Recoil in a Brown Precision fiberglass
stock is also surprisingly light. They are designed to
absorb most of the harshness by flexing slightly and acting as a
shock absorber.
Brown Precision utilizes both Kevlar
and graphite in the forearm and other strategic strength areas
of all of its fiberglass stocks.
Graphite
This space age material - that works so
well in golf club shafts and fishing poles - also adapts well in
the building of gunstocks. Its main advantage is being
light and stiff. We highly recommend adding extra graphite
to the forearm of a fiberglass or Kevlar stock. It assures
that you have the stiffest, toughest stock available and is
particularly important if you often utilize a sling in your
shooting.
Kevlar
Kevlar is a super strong, lightweight
material used primarily in bullet-proof vests. We have
adopted the use of Kevlar in the production of stocks. The
main advantage to Kevlar is that the stock is 3 to 4 ounces
lighter and stronger than even our fiberglass stock.
Because Kevlar is such a tough material, it is hard to sand,
file and mill - requiring more time and effort to finish.
However, once the finished product has been obtained, there is
no visible difference between Kevlar and fiberglass.
Note: Kevlar doesn't have the
recoil absorption qualities that fiberglass does, but this
should not be a concern if you're stocking a rifle in non-magnum
calibers.
