Hmm. How heavy is it?

 

[Wraith]

Not sure, I'll weigh it when mine gets here. I'm waiting for the next round of walnut thumbholes again.

 

[M. Sage]

Hmm. Might just stick with the replacement stock I got - the plastic stock they made for the synthetic version is light. And I like it that way.

 

[Wraith]

Woohoo! Goodies in the mail! Just got to find time to smooth and finish it.

 

[M. Sage]

Looks like it'd be great with a dark stain.

Is it much more comfortable than the standard stock? I have to admit that I find the standard version a tad short for my taste...

 

[Wraith]

It is quite a bit more comfortable than the original. I'm going to weigh them at work to see the difference but they feel really close.

 

[M. Sage]

You took a wood stock off it, or plastic? The plastic weighs practically nothing.

 

[Wraith]

I took off a wood stock. I'm not sold on the plastic on the M60, I feel the character of the rifle leans more towards wood. Do they make a normal looking plastic stock? All I have ever seen are those god-awful tacti-cool stocks.

 

[M. Sage]

Yep, synthetic stocks are available right from Marlin! They're very light, which took a bit of getting used to at first.

I can't remember where I got my stock, it's been a few years. It was a new factory replacement, though. I think I tossed my wood stock because it was beat to crap (hey, I bought the rifle for $10).

 

[Wraith]

Thanks, now I have a reason to own three M60's, one in each flavor.

 

[Wraith]

And it took this long for me to find time to finish my stock.

wow, looks nice
