With the sudden proliferation of synthetic stocks over the
past few years,
one might wonder "what's the
difference between them all?"
Our stock answer: Integrity!
The Brown
Difference
Ever since Brown
Precision pioneered the fiberglass stock business in 1968,
we have been committed to creating the best quality product,
using the latest technology and the finest raw materials.
The result of this commitment is a full line of the
lightest, strongest, most durable and best functioning
stocks in the world. We may not be the least
expensive, but we honestly believe that you, the customer,
will appreciate the extra time, materials and workmanship
that we put into our stocks.
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.
