I have been contemplating the feasibility of taking my aging Well MB05 and turning it into a complete overhaul project gun. One of the many things I want to replace is the cheap plastic stock with something completely new and better than any high quality rifle stock.
I am planning on carving a design out of a layered block of high density and rigid foam and then coating the foam stock in fiberglass sheeting and an epoxy bonding agent. I would take the metal parts from the old stock and incorporate them into the new one by permanently attaching them during the fiber-glassing process. If I don't need special(expensive) tools it should be relatively easy and inexpensive since the materials shouldn't be expensive.
I just need to know what the proper materials and fiber-glassing process. Carving the stock out will be easy, but fiber-glassing it properly may be difficult so I need some tips, tricks, and a guide perhaps.
Please help, it will be much appreciated.
