Anyone made their own carbon fiber stock?

[Redandwhite_72]

Had a little time on my hands at work lately. I got to looking at carbon fiber. I was wondering if any of you guys have made your own stock out of carbon fiber? If you did, I'm just looking to see how you went about doing it. I have only found one thread on a different forum of a guy that did, at least only one that gave a good description of how he did it. He sent me some pictures and it looks pretty good. I will probably follow the way he did it if I can't come up with a better way.

If you decide to take this project on, document it well, as I'm sure many will follow the path you lead.

I've never seen it done, but it's always interested me. I did a layup of epoxy and fiberglass to reinforce my Axis stock, but making one from whole cloth strikes me as beyond my capacity.

There.was a posting here of a tube style once. Very cool look but I think the poster removed the photos? I always wondered if it would come to market.

I found that link yesterday while I was doing a little more research. He did his out of fiberglass. But fiberglass and carbon fiber are basically done the same way. Its definitely not going to be a quick project.

Please keep us posted on your progress, this sounds very interesting.

I started yesterday making molds of the mag well and trigger well. I have to admit this is going to be for a Remington instead of a savage. I could bring myself to destroy a savage stock when I just got my Boyds installed. So I don't need another savage stock right now.

Anyway. Here's what I've got done so far.
