In case you're in the market, a rare find:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/315246659605?

Wow, that is really, really...........grotesque!

Love the way the seller described it as “elegant”……not sure that is the word I would use…..

Wow... that's....unique.... I guess.

Those are my thoughts

Aw, cmon guys - it's "elegant!"

When I first saw it I thought it might be a prop from the show "Survivor."

🤣

Brad;
Good evening to you sir, it's been far too long since I've said hello and I hope that you and yours have been well in the interim.

Thanks - well l think thanks are in order on some level surely - I mean that sort of qualifies for the, "just when you thought you'd seen everything" category does it not?

As a sometime hobby stock maker, I've done a couple different types just to see what they'd turn out like, a couple thumb hole stocks come to mind, but again that's in a separate sort of grouping.

Maybe one needs to be a Lord of the Rings fan?

Maybe a Lord of the Rings fan that drinks a little too much?

When making gun stocks?

Surely we're in a fairly small percentile of the population at that point Brad.

Perhaps we should be thankful for that and leave it there.

All the best to you all this Easter.

Dwayne

Good evening Dwayne, and Happy Easter to you and yours!

One thing I can say is I was touched by the sincerity he displayed describing his work - of course many delusional people are quite sincere. Oh well, trying to be positive in some way didn’t end well for me this time

Ya' know, I've seen a few stocks, and even made a few, but I can honestly say I've not seen one quite like that. A person can't help but have a visceral reaction to artistry like that. As it happens, I've kind of been looking for a decent pre-64 stock, but I can tell, that's reaching too high for a country boy like me. GD

OMG!! I saw a pre 64 model 70 stock today, that was unusual. It was in a $10 bin. I should have bought it.. It was damn beautiful, compared to this one!!!

Here I am left out as a lefty once again. It’s like getting socks for Christmas.

That was wrong....

Made for "Long range target engagement"

From Kentucky... My first thought, Hickok45.

Go bleach the eyeballs!!!

Where is the rest of my long-stolen rifle?

Cleaned up the hot glue bedding, that's gotta be worth something.

Similar to what Dwayne mentioned, the subset of potential buyers who:
A: Want to restock their Post '64
B: Are huge Lord of the Rings fans
and C: Are drunk enough to pay $500 for this..."artwork"
are likely a rather limited niche market.

If it were more like $50 I would totally buy it as a gag gift. Perhaps I could bed a rifle for a buddy, then bolt it into this stock and upon return note that I had added some custom touches. Then be sure to film the look on their face when presented with the resulting atrocity.

You could use that to make one fine elk rifle!

I think I might throw up

Ho Lee Fugk….

😂

Had I realized there would be this much interest here on the fire, I would’ve listed it here first.

That made my day

There is a buyer for everything.
Put a watch on it and it will sell.

It’s been a few rounds already.

I’m going with “unlikely.”

Maybe at 1/2 that price; and a case of beer.

What’s got me worried Brad, exactly what were you looking for when you found this stock while perusing eBay……?

If this were cheaper it would be fun to throw it on something and show up to hunting camp just to get some reactions.

I would be afraid to even throw that in my wood stove...

If it were cheaper I would've bought it already to put on my kid's 9.3. He's turned into a 6'2" long armed goon with LOP needs beyond normal. This would be great for that purpose.

That stock is odd in so many ways, and not just in the aesthetics. And, someone invested a fair bit of work to make it that way, too. I wonder if it was made as a gag gift, or a prop for a play?
