[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1490010, member: 54178"] See Youtube for "Ultimate Carbon Fiber Skin - Sofie's rifle stock" This is a step-by step instructional video on how to "skin" a rifle stock with CF and make it both functional and beautiful. It is an "ad" for the British maker of the kit. Very well done. But when making your own CF stock you need a compressed foam CORE in the shape of your final stock the same a Browning uses for their 360 degree wrap of their compressed foam core. This is for the Browning X-Bolt Pro model only. Look for a rigid foam that is [B]not[/B] compromised (eaten away) by the resin you will use. Foam cores for stucco home decorations may be a place to start. You will need to make an exact copy of the stock you want only about 1/8" less material around action and barrel to account for the CF and resin layers. I solved the "really good CF stock" quest by buying a 6.5 CM Browning X-Bolt Pro. ;o) In MHO it is likely the best CF hunting rifle stock made. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
