RokStok

[slowelk]

@Stockys in regard to the molded-in texture of the rokstok, are there any stocks (yours or other manufacturers) that you could compare it to? I ordered bare carbon and hope it is grippy enough in those key areas to not have to add paint.

 

[Stockys]

I'll help out @Unknown Munitions with some inletting information:

Barrel Channel Inlets:
Tikka Factory Sporter- will fit Superlite, T3/T3X Lite etc (will be with a 0.025" free float)
ACE #3/ BM #5/ BART #3B- can fit an alpine veil/roughtech with minor sanding (for a muzzle diameter of .70" with a .025" free float)
Proof Sendero- will fit Proof Research Sendero/Lite - Carbonsix Sendero/Magnum (or any comparable contour

Bottom metal on Tikka Inlet (currently factory OEM bottom metal) We can do the CTR but haven't gotten that far yet since we haven't started inletting yet so not sure how they want to handle it currently.

Bottom metal on Remington 700 ( M5 footprint) Can use Hawkins M5, Badger M5, PTG M5 Etc. They are specifically made for the UM M5 but can accept the others usually with minor sanding.

It will be a grip added to the stock after lamination but will be grippy enough that it wouldn't require paint. The stock will also be a matte finish instead of our glossy carbon finish which will help with the slickness of it as well.

I'll post some pictures here of the texture when we get to that point.

Great! I enjoy bare carbon.

Listened to the podcast. Good stuff, looking forward eventually dropping $ on one of these guys!

Y'all are seriously making me consider re-shuffling my spending priorities

I'm also dying to ask: due to the nature of his work, does @Formidilosus have to run around wearing a mask with integral audio filter full time/in person, or is it only for special occasions like podcasts??

Anyone have a picture of a tikka sporter in an ace #3/bm #5/bart 3b?

@Stockys How neon is the green limited edition carbon weave?

Neon like the rokslide logo. Almost an exact match

Proof Sendero- will fit Proof Research Sendero/Lite - Carbonsix Sendero/Magnum (or any comparable contour

How is the fit for a standard Sendero/Rem Varmint like a Bartlein or Krieger in stainless and not one of those carbons?

Rem varmint/sendero is .850” at the muzzle and the m24 is .929 so not much smaller and we throw the varmint in the m24 channel all the time. Doesn’t leave a huge gap in the barrel channel.

No worries on a larger gap. Rather have that than to have to open it up.

Those that have purchased, do you plan to bed, or just bolt in and go?

Here’s a sporter in an alpine contour inlet.

The inlet on my VG is so tight, I don't think bedding would gain you much. I bet 99% of your bedding compound would get squeezed out. I do not plan to bed mine.

Did you at least epoxy the recoil lug in?

 

[Antares]

I did not. It's in there tight. I'd have to pull it out with pliers.

I haven't shot it yet, but the tightness of the inletting is confidence inspiring. I do no anticipate any issues.

 

[DangerRanger]

I’ll do whatever unknown/Ryan/form say they prefer after testing it

But I do not plan to bed it unless it’s suggested

Thanks, that's helpful. Not enough room for dead cats.

To clarify, the matte finish will be some sort of durable finish coat over the raw carbon?

This stock is going to be money. Listened to the Youtube channel today. Sounds like the stock hits all the points perfectly. My first custom rifle, Hell’s Canyon Armory T3x, is so stupid accurate with AG Alpine hunter on it, just wished it pointed better for off hand shots. The RokStock sounds like it will be a great blend of design. I can’t wait to see what the recoil impulse feels like. One step closer to the perfect, do all, rifle.

Mike over at HCA can build one hell of a rifle
