Rokstok Lite

[longrangelead]

Any reason to prefer epoxy over polyurethane for laminating stocks?

I've gone back to tried and true wood glue. Titebond 3 is good stuff.

That’s good to hear, I just glued mine together with titebond 3!

Im surprised how much I like the black one. Keep imagining a rokslide green one now.

@Unknown Munitions, @Ryan Avery — podcast said the RS Lites would drop for Tikkas. Does that include T1x or just T3x?

 

[ChrisAU]

How much are we expecting the RS Lites to weigh?

Sold a chassis - funding project almost there. Just waiting for the Lite in a Tikka to be available to order.

6 to 8 months. I'm working hard to get caught up on the ones that are late.

Mines close to 11 months. Unless UM has been sitting on it…..

I know. I'll be finishing yours very soon.

@longrangelead has anyone requested a rokstock from you inlet for a traditional percussion lock muzzleloader yet? I would think you'd get one eventually. However I think much of the benefit the rokstock design brings is lost when it's not a repeater and uses iron sights.

I have thought really, really hard about doing that.

no request yet, Form and I have been kicking ideas around and I intend to try one on my Hawkin and TC Omega when I get time.

Sight height is they key. I set up a Tikka with Ghemann sights for Form last year and it will hold MOA as far as we've shot it. I've shot it for groups @ 100, 200 and 300 and a big rock @ 500 something.
Form may have shot it further by now.

I don't think anything is lost on a muzzleloader. recoil control is follow through. Back when i was trying for extreme (peep sight) accuracy, i was setting the gun up for recoil control like it was a Rokstok and i got pretty good with it. looking back, had it actually been a Rokstok, it would have been easier and more enjoyable.
Plus, most muzzleloader stocks kick the snot out of the shooter and just aren't that much fun to shoot for hours. I get tired of getting punched in the cheek real quick.

Do a Google search on old Danish muskets. parallel and even a few negative comb guns have been around a LONG time.

It doesnt made a ton of sense but id love to see a modern butt stock for a lever action. Made to use with optics instead of irons
