RokStok

[TOLeary]

With a standard wood stock, yes. Not with the way the wood RokStoks are made.

What do you mean by this? What’s the difference in how a wood rokstok is made vs another wood stock?

That looks like a lengthwise laminate of three pieces of wood. If so I can totally see why you have less concern about how the grain of the wood runs through the wrist section.

Yes sir. It’s a very good design. Grain does still matter, but not nearly to the extent it does with conventional wood stocks. It also means thermal shift, swelling, etc. is not a factor.

Do you think this eliminates the need to epoxy bed the action in a tikka if the wood is sealed correctly?

 

[svivian]

Nice, similar to the way wood spearguns are built.

No. Bedding is needed.

No. Bedding is needed.

If this is the case, why does UM say they don’t need to bed a tikka into the wood rokstok?

They don’t need “your” Tikka- they are using a slave action. R700 patterns they need your specific rifle.

Ah. They are bedding with pillars to a tikka they have for you. Im tracking.

When I spoke to a salesman at UM I was told they pillar bed and then seal the inlet with clear coat on the wood tikka Rokstok. No epoxy bedding. Maybe something got lost in translation between the sales guy and the bedding guy as they were going back and forth. @Unknown Munitions did I understand correctly?

Pretty sure stockys picked up whoever the atf fired when forms 4s got fixed.

Maybe we could write to congress to direct DOGE’s efforts towards streamlining the process! Ha… despite what an oxymoron combining ‘government’ and ‘efficiency’ together is… could call it a government sponsored job retraining program

Get your mind out of the gutter on buying firewood rifle stocks and leave the walnut for your cabinetry….

You see a long time ago a boy peice of wood loved a girl piece of wood and they loved each very very much then a short time later they made a baby piece of special wood that turned in to a Rokstock that he end.
