BSA Superstar "Special"

[lightning22]

And I bet if you asked Custom Stocks to make you a stock to fit a BSA they would say no and say they never made them for Beezas.

I have and you are partially correct, they don’t deny making them in the past but that the patterns they had were for an older process and not compatible with their current machinery.

So, if anyone knows of a custom stock for an underlever Goldstar..

Well I'd happily send them a stock to copy the inletting if I wanted one to fit that rifle.

Yup, offered the same.

No dice unfortunately. Have the bits to make a stock carver in the garage, the two things may be related...

They just won't do it Pete.

CS used to make their stock on a copy lathe and used to turn a fair range of stocks out, incuding stocks for the Diana 48/52.

Unfortunately they use CNC now.

I wonder how hard it is to program in new inlettings?

I've no experience in CNC programming, but like you I wondered.
It took CS long time to decide to offer a stock for the 99, so guessing there's a reasonable amount of work involved

I suspect in the grand scheme of things it isn’t that much to set up, it’s whether there would be a return on the investment.

I’d be up for a Goldstar stock, but I expect the actual numbers who would join me wouldn’t be that great.

Laser scanning may be a way to go. They could get some one into scan a factory stock then they could program it into the CNC machines.

Not sure if they would recoup the costs though.
