G36 stock

[The Lettonian]

np naerah! I'm a fan of your stock, and as mentioned may attempt a duplication...I'll let you know how it goes. First I gotta rebuild a couple of AEG's and perfect my creative face protection...

[Naerah]

It's almost finished!! Only thing left to do is paint it. So here's some more pics i just took of it installed, and a bit more detailed.

[skalnok]

would you be willing to make those for other people? ( for a moderate price?)

I can't see how it can be comfy..

I mean, the hole in the stock is too small and square shaped... I do have large hands, but that is a bit extreme... I would expand it downwards so it arrives almost perpendicular with the G36 grip... Would be a lot more ergonomic... To my opinion.

BTW, I have used L96s and SL9... They are meant to be held by the "hole", meaning that your fingers are not making it around the grip completely.

Ah well, i was thinking of sanding a bit more of that hole but i just can't wait to paint it black. Also i am not a big guy, so for now the hole is quite ok. It's more comfy than it may look like, or should i say, it's been designed by me and for me, so it's adjusted for my size. I still understand what you mean Kos-Mos but when ihold the grip in my hand, my thumb get throug the hole without any obstruction. However i could not find a way to prevent the selector switch reachability problem but that's a thing that happen to all SL8 or SL9 users.
Skalnok the one i will be usig for now is a prototype, im supposed to make another one sooner or later and i will most probably sell this one. Just dont wait for it, it could take some month before i start the new one.

lol sounds good , do you know the dimensions of your stock?

[Naerah]

I finally got over my fear of "breaking" it with a crappy paint job and painted my new stock. I did some more "epoxy resin molding" aroung the grip to make it more comfortable in the hand and sanded the thumb hole to make round inside. After installing the finished stock, im amazed of the new look of my baby. I'm quite proud of the result.

Now i just need a new battery since mine died for good (a cell leaked and melted the plastic over it...) because the battery charger i bought to replace the european wall charger was worst in fact, trying to fast charge batteries (8,4v 1100mah) at 1800mah. The stock mini battery never got a chance.... got a far better one now but no battery to charge lol. Anyway, here's some picture i just took, one of the stock while it was still wet and one for the "Before and After" effect. Thank again for letting me thread-jack you FNG_13!

You should hit it with semi-gloss clear coat from a very far distance, it'll help replicate the speckled texture look that's present on the stock plastic.

[Naerah]

Thanks for the tips! I was wondering how i could acheive that.

you need a cheek rest on it now like the sl-8s have. looks pretty good cept for still being able to see the grain of the wood. and yea those sl-8 grips are pretty comfortable

[Naerah]

Could you get me a better picture than what's displayed on redwolf airsoft(of the cheekrest)? The picture on that site was my reference while building it.

[Dusti69]

oh dude just google it. you did such a great job on the stock itself that making a cheekrest to "screw" on the top of it should be easy as "pie" for you

just take a block of wood as wide as the stock cut it to what size you want then round the top. next go to walmart, go back in the crafts section and pick up a sheet or two of those adhesive backed sheets of foam in black of course then cut the shape needed out and after screwing the block of wood down onto the stock just apply the foam over the cheekrest so that it covers it and overlaps down onto the stock

[skalnok]

im still all for buying one if you decide to make a second one lol. looks amazing
