wooden stocks

[MitchWerbellsGhost87]

i recently obtained a handful of original RPB steel wire stock bracket pieces and various lengths of legs. I have been trying to figure out something to do with them. I had some Uzis stocks laying around and fitted them to a few of the brackets but they were a bit short and i was not really thrilled with them. I decided to try my hand at wood working and see what I could come up with. I am pleased to present the new Ingram wooden buttstock, made to the same exact specifications as the original RPB unit. I will be doing these for the M11 as well. I’m no woodworker so it’s a little rough around the edges but I think with some practice they will come out perfect.

I like it, might need one for my M10.

Nice, price?
also does that say jaws llc NJ?

I like them!
Back in the late 80's I bought a couple of wooden Cobray stocks but the short rails caused the stocks to wobble.
I attached the longer rails from full wire stocks to the wooden stocks and no more wobble.
Just a tip for anyone with the short rail wobble

Yes it does, it’s the name of my business. Jersey accessory works (JAWS) for short. It’s a play on the original jersey arms works name.

I mark all this stuff with it so it doesn’t get confused with an original when I sell it on gunbroker.

Price is to be determined, I’ve got this one up for sale on GB right now to gauge interest and see what people are willing to pay for a new wood M10 stock. The stocks I was making with the Uzi stocks were selling for over 300 each but it’s summer now so things have already begun to slow down. Price is probably gonna be around $250 on these.

most of the originals were ugly.
That has a much better refined shape thats less ugly but yet looks like its part of the same family.

I approve

Here’s a pic next to an original that I used for the measurements. There were a few different variations on the originals but they always followed that same shape, some were more rounded off, some more squared off, some walnut, some pine, some dark, some light, with logo or without etc etc

The very early ones had the most clearly defined shape with the sharpest lines, as the years progressed the lines got softer and rounder.

I’d be interested in one with a cobray logo

Those look very nice.

I had built one, using a photo in an RPB catalog for a pattern. The solid wood stock makes a world of difference in how the MAC10 feels when shooting.

As my M11-380 and full size Uzi SMGs are shot by people of various sizes, I have made "micro" AR pattern adjustable length-of-pull stocks for both guns. I could put woodgrain pattern vinyl appliques on the stocks to emulate woodgrain, but I prefer to have the slots in the stocks available for installation of various sized height snap-on combs that are used depending on sights or optics usage.
If it were only me and other men doing the shooting, I'd entertain the use of a fixed length, wooden stock, but we must remember the women and children.
MHO, YMMV, etc.

i am planning on doing one that is a clone of the stock that is on the cover of the early RPB catalog for my personal collection. The stock on the cover is a prototype I think. It is a slightly different shape than the production stocks, a bit larger, and had a big Cobray logo on the side of it. I can’t tell because your arm is covering it, but your stock looks like it may be that larger prototype shape?

I think it would be worth considering making a high figure wood one for a premium price once you are comfortable with it. Cool project

Yeah I am already considering this, I got a very nice piece of walnut and I’m thinking maybe some birdseye or quilted maple would be nice

I bought one that I cant remember if I bought from RPB or Et Cetera, but it had been carved from a high quality 2x4.
Its a little smaller profile than the originals, but good quality work

That describes them very accurately. I’ve seen a number of them over the years that looked like they were made from scrap lumber. Smaller ones for the M11, and larger for the M10. I think I’ve seen some for the M11/9 as well, but not sure if those were from SWD or some aftermarket outfit.

Yeah, that looks similar to the one I used for a pattern. I had used the original wire stock with the folding shoulder piece removed for the mounting hardware. Later on I was able to find someone to make me a replacement with shorter rails, and I restored the folder to its original configuration.

A different style wood stock. It has a good lockup with no wiggle and is very comfortable.

swd made them from pine 2x4s. It is the perfect width at 1.5”. Both RPB and SWD made them for the M11 as well.

These are all originals. The 2 on the left are M10, three on the right are M11. A mix of both RPB and SWD. RPB made decent walnut stocks, SWD used pine 2x4 for the M10 stocks and 1” boards for the M11

I have seen these before, I don’t know who made them. I have never been able to find an old ad for them in shotgun news or anything. Somebody has got to know where these came from.

 

[Hey...]

Room for improvement... These stocks are the ugliest sister to the Thompson and Uzi.

Draw better lines, make it attach. The record books are open if anyone could make a new chapter, with a new design.
