I took my custom stock design work for the FX DRS and created a Glass Fiber composite stock from the design. A lot of features with Adjustable Cheek Riser, M-Lok Rail, QD Sling Swivels, lighter than wood, and tough.

Weigh is in kilograms. I am still working a few design elements to take a few more grams out of the stock.

Very cool, however, my custom walnut stock weighs over a pound less at 1.6 pounds, vs your 2.8 pounds.
Just wanted to address your comment "lighter than wood"
Have fun!

Good data point. It is lighter than the true custom wood stock I made that weighed in at 1.75kg. It is all about the volume of the stock and features like the adjustable cheek riser, the M-lol rail, and QD sling swivels. They add weight which the OEM stocks do not have. I have plans to make a lighter weight sporter style stock, but it all takes time. Thanks for sharing the photos of your OEM stock, it is real sharp and yes lighter.

Thankyou Loren, Its slightly above OEM, with my added ebony grip and forearm caps with Holly spacers, pachmayr white lined recoil pad, and swivel studs.

Have fun!

Frankly I think the DRS needs a little more weight for offhand shooting. Preferably in the front but that wouldn’t be possible unless you replace the FX barrel with a larger solid barrel Or a steel shroud. Nice work Loren. Hope you sell a lot of them. But I wish you had made a mid size plentum instead.

We can intet the forearm to accept some weights if that is what you want. The stock would fit the mid size plenum too.

I have created a new recoil pad for the FX DRS, in particular for the composite stocks to reduce the weight. The new recoil pad reduces weight by 2 oz.

Cut a wood master pattern on the CNC and then cast a mold off the pattern and then cast the recoil pad.

Finished up another composite FX DRS stock. I finished it in Camo Brown with Copper splatter accent paint. It was in process before the tooling for the new recoil pad was completed so it has the thicker old pad which originally was designed for a Rem 7MM mag rifle.
