Umarex wooden stocks for notos, anyone?

[daddypaddy]

hypothetically speaking.. if i could get someone to make wooden stock for the notos. i need a show of hands of who would be willing to buy them.
i dont know CAD so if anyone can make a file, i know someone who might just take on the job of helping us make the notos prettier.

Nope, I like the plastic.

i like the plastic as well but i am really curious as to how the notos would look with wood. i think it’s never a bad thing to have more options. blondes, brunettes, strawberries, blackberries, curly, wavy, straight, bald. whatever floats peoples boats i guess lol

Wood is heavy, I like to keep her thin and trim.

the notos stock has some weight to it. i think a wooden equivalent would be near to or lighter than the plastic.

 

[daddypaddy]

alright. got some good news. he’s going to draft a cad and see how many people are actually interested in buying. if you guys have any concepts for a wooden stock drawn up, post them here. i can show him and will probably help him with the cad concept

Something like this. I just pulled this of a Google search but I think it's a gun of a member here.

Doesn't have to be laminate obviously, but the general shape has always been eye pleasing to me.

Here's another one by Steve. Both Prods, but very similar setup to the Notos.

his instagram link is here.
but if you don’t have instagram here’s a picture of a couple of his work.

his company is fairly new and doesn’t want to do just one at a time. i’m sure he wants to see how many people would actually be interested in something like this for the notos or another airgun perhaps.

okay, now my question is, would he need a gun to get measurements off of to build a stock for it?

That would be the easiest way for him I'd think. Vs sending him a bunch of measurements you took, he would have the gun in hand for reference in case he has to change anything or one of the measurements were off.

Also have to take into account the price of the gun vs the price he will charge for the stock. Not many people are buying a $250 gun and planning to pay $400 for a stock.

I'm interested in a stock for the Notos like the Tom West thumbhole design for the P-rod posted by Dr. Kralenstein, or the similar design also for the P-rod available at Airgun Revisions. Both are $250, and that is about what I would want to pay.

oooo that’s pretty

does anybody have an extra stock they’re willing to send him? i frequently shoot my notos, so i’m a little apprehensive about not having a stock on mine for the duration of the time he needs it.

250 is a fair price i would say. he’s going to draft a cad before any actual builds.

If he does make a wood stock, it would be nice to have a short picatinny rail on the bottom of the forearm to mount a bi-pod.
