We think you ll agree this is the single most important development in a wood gunstock since laminates first came to town.
What is laminate walnut stock.
It may but why take that chance.
The custom walnut stock is extremely labor intensive and the highly figured walnut which was much more common a century ago has become a rarity.
Anyway the fajen people offered the regent in an all walnut laminate of 5 16 inch laminations which they turned from blanks purchases from a furniture manufacturer.
And rightly so because the wood laminate has been enhanced when you look at the science inherent in the production of wood gunstock blanks you realize that a boyds gunstock is more than just a piece of laminated wood that s been carved into the shape of a gunstock.
Walnut looks good but will show all the hunting wear you give it.
If you are looking at buying a used rifle with a laminate stock there is a good chance that it is already cracked which led to poor accuracy which led to the rifle being sold.
Personally i always enjoy the look of well figured wood but can hardly get excited about plastic made by old world craftsmen.
It s truly a marvel of science and technology.
If the gun shop will do it ask to have the action removed from the stock and carefully inspect it is likely that there will be cracks in the previously stated locations.
That meant there were only six layers of wood in a typical stock so the multi layer look we see in today s laminates was very subdued.
Obviously a synthetic kevlar stock is the most weatherproof but if you like the look of laminate it.
Laminate stock i would certainly carry a laminate stock before walnut.
A wet environment is potentially not conducive to walnut staying straight.
