Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Brown precision stocks ?

Interesting; I have looked at a bunch of Brown stocks and they were all split top to bottom, with an upper and lower half and the inletting done in glass. But maybe he does them different ways for different inlets.

My experience also. This is an older blank, so perhaps things have changed, but you can see the upper and lower.

They do.

Thanks for the update. Guess I'll have to contact Mark and get one (at least) ordered. Got a couple of 600s/660s that are candidates for new/better stocks.

I'm a fan of their stocks too.
Mark also built me, 3 fine hunting rifles. Also have their stocks on other rifles.

They all work great for me, I wish Mark Brown and Company all the best.

Have one on a 660. Bought it around 1989, no idea what model.
Shortened it to work for me wearing typical deer hunting clothes,
It's my favorite stock. Probably my second favorite barreled action.

It was seamed vertically.

My first ever attempt at that kind of thing,
hunting season was coming, it got a flat black rattle can finish.

Several years later, I took it apart and sanded it better, filled a few
spots. Got busy. Hunting season was coming, put it back together.

Left it like that for over 10 years.

carbon fiber look of Bondo in the little divots

Was a bit homely.

Finally did it right with a textured black paint.

Wish I hadn't. Can't always have the prettiest gun in a group,
But mine was always the ugliest.

I had one back about 25 years ago and it was the "Brown Pounder", great stock with zero issues.

I have always considered them to be the worst of the fiberglass stocks; from a quality standpoint. The pounder was very light because it used very little resin and kevlar cloth. I have had to add 2 ounces or more to the stock to fill voids in the action area. I will never forget the Brown Precision stock I had, which used a hot dog wrapper as filler in the fore arm. The words, "HOT DOG" could be plainly seen through the glass.
Lee Six was Chet Brown's partner, early on until they split in the mid-70's. I always felt that the stocks from Lee Six were a much better stock than the Brown Precision. Today, I much prefer the Bansner stocks. I still have some BR stocks, from Brown and Lee Six, which I bought in the late '70's. GD

I only messed with one lee six stock. The bedding was not done very well and barrel channel was way off. Both were a fairly easy fix. Always figured you can get a bad one in anything.
As to Browns I have never had a issue other than a few unfinished ones needed alot of pin holes filled.
The last one I have was for a
Rem 700 but did not have the actioned milled. I have inlet for a 722. I may further fit it for my Rem 725.

Possibly for the Rem custom shop. I dont remember the model 70’s as I only did about 3 and about 10 remington’s
A buddy of mine was friends with Chet and bought a lot of over runs some were primed, most were left handed for Rem 700 and some had no inlet. Lowest price I paid was $35.

I really like my PoundR. The only complaint was it took me 10 paint jobs to get it right. Finally I settled on this:


That wasn't Brown's fault though

Ergo's are perfect for me and the stock is damn lightweight. Brings that pre 64 model 70 338wm down to 7 pounds even.. Ergo's help to mitigate recoil. Grip thickness and length fit me like a glove. I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.. I've had bansner's too. There's no comparison..
