[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2057206, member: 104002"] Well done guys, I have been building super light weight stocks since 1970 and must admit it was very difficult to start. I have made them from 9ozs to 3lb and recently tested a 1lb 2 oz stock by running over it with the back wheels of a Ford SW. The stock could be used again without a problem. I like designs with sharp corners and hate those that look like a big blob of putty. The USA stock builders love Twill weaves but I get much better strength from using unidirectional unwoven. It's more difficult to work with and doesn't have that "I must have an orgasm when I look at the carbon". However I'm looking for stiffness and rock solid non changing point of impact. The resin to reinforce ratio is very important, excess resin just adds weight and does nothing but make it brittle, try for 50 - 50, Good luck I'm retired [/QUOTE]
