    My Original Rapid Mk1 Laminate Target stock has been granted the rapid 7 ugliest stock on Guys Rapid 7 Owners Club forum, Obviously done for some ones taste but i have never found a single person who likes the spray job,,, Including myself. Would have to be stripped if i ever use it .

    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.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    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?
