Stay away from Ramline unless you want to break it too. I had one crack in 2 on a small frame Mauser. Very cheap!

Quoted: I've got a Gibbs repro '03A4 that broke the stock inside at the recoil lug area. Broke a big chunk off and pushed it against the front of the magazine. So the stock is fubar and I'm considering putting it in something besides another military style C stock. I've looked at Boyds, Ramline and Bell and Carlson. I'd prefer to put it in a synthetic stock. Is anyone else out there making 1903 stocks I could look at that I might not have considered? Thx. I've been looking around for a laminate for the 03 series....and all of the synthetics get bad reviews...so far as I have found. I have considered calling Boyd's for a custom laminate 03 C type but I shudder to think at the cost of a one off.....and my C stock took a YEAR to get when I ordered it from them. I am glad that you shared your experience. When I bed my 03 I am going to fiber re-enforce the lug area. |

OP, I have a custom request out at a known maker of laminate rifle stocks. I specifically asked if they could cut G.I. profile A3, C type stocks and hand guards from their
laminates. I'll let you know if they contact me and what they say. |

I'm kind of leaning towards a non military stock at this point. I've thought about putting it in a sporter or target stock if I can find one. I figure it is and always will be a reactivated drill rifle anyway, so I'm not really destroying much originality. Did you say you waited a year to receive a stock from Boyds?
I wonder if it would take that long for a different type of stock.

By the way...are you good at woodworking? You could route and bed that broken area with glass bedding.

Well Boyds had a c-stock on clearance for $70 so that wins by price alone. See how long it takes to arrive.
