SOLD/EXPIRED Opinions on Laminated Thumbhole stock

[338RUML]

Just curious if anyone has any experience with one of these stocks and or has anything bad or good to say about them, is it difficult to remove material from a stock that has an aluminum bedding block? I'm thinking about getting a Wyatt extended box mag for obvious reasons. I like this stock and its 360.00 or the door with shipping

I have 1 aluminum block rifle that I added a detach mag (not a Wyatt). slight filing was needed to fit through the mag well, nothing major.

My muzzleloader has a laminated TH stock on it. Handles nice, shoots nice. Have to pull thumb out to work the safety. Or learn to use the trigger finger?

Thanks for you'r input! I have never had problems with the safety on my custom Thumbhole 338/378, I was wondering if you just had to file away some material to get something to fit. Other than reciecer work

Aluminum is easy to remove yourself. Also almost any machine shop with a manual mill could do the work for you and give a great result. The only thing they would need is some padding or soft jaws on the vice that clamps it into their mill. If you open the aluminum up yourself you will want to use either grinding lubricant or candle wax on the cutting tool. Just push the candle or grinding lubricant into the cutting tool like you are removing stock material. It will coat the tool and prevent the aluminum from sticking to it and plugging it up. Do this a lot. as soon as the tool starts to feel "sticky" or aluminum sticks to it. I hope this helps because that stock looks like it would make a real nice one for you.
