I’ve been working on my stock by adding epoxy putty to increase grip/reduce length to trigger. I’m at 1.75ish depending on where you measure. I used this putty that ACE hardware sells. It’s fantastic. But you have to work fast as it’s hard as a rock in about 3-4 minutes. However you can rasp/file/sand in about 20 minutes. I then put a coat of Marine Tex over it.

We’re trying to get as much inventory out before the hurricane hits on Wednesday so here’s some specials we’re running.
In stock Carbon blank barrels $599
In stock Carbon pre fit barrels $749
In stock steel barrels $300

Any carbon stock in stock $350 (you will have to call to place the order to get that pricing)


Call if you want something you don’t see listed in stock. We will go through the shelves and see if we can find it.
Is there any chance at still getting this deal on a carbon Tikka VG?

What’s the best way to add some grip on these without adding mass/circumference?

Can you stipple (either heat iron or a dremel bit) the carbon? I assume that’s a no no…. Is the only option a marine Tex coating type?

I have already sponge painted and clear coated the stock, that helped a little but it’s still slick.

I used a 'Granite effect' spray paint, then overcoated with regular spray paint, then three coats of matt clear coat. Have a look through my posts to see if you can find it - if not, let me know and I'll track it down. Post shows texture and steps of process.
