Another Custom Stock from Poland!
My custom stock for a Cricket Compact is now ready to ship, the only thing missing on the pics is the aluminium trigger Guard! I think I was kind of Lucky on the Wood 😉
Oh, and the buttpad is CNC made and adjustable up/down side/side and the Wings are adjustable too :8:

Battenfield really gives you spare parts for handling costs. Here is what they sent for $3 plus $6 shipping.
I picked up an extra deadshot rear fork assembly from Battenfield (Caldwell) for $3 plus shipping to modify the rear to hold the guns vertical better. I am lucky to live near them. I thought of a couple of options to try. One is attaching a gun vise so it would work with any gun.
Are you saying the deadshot has an adjustable buttplate? I only used it once, didn’t really like it much, but will give it a second chance at some point. My stock shipps today, I gave him the final payment yesterday and here is how it looks indoors with his phone camera with the trigger guard
Beautiful stock Wingman. Talk about a nice piece of wood.. The lighter stain was a good choice.
Its not stained at all just English black walnut and true oil..
Just saw that on the bottom. Yes the deadshot is unstable on canting with the V rest bottoms and little fingers so I only use it for varmint/pest. That said I have a clamp in the works to keep it perfectly vertical when cycling. Otherwise, I constantly am checking the level and adjusting. When I get time to finish it I will post.
With my semi-large hand the grip is like a glove for me. I need that baby replicated if I do another stock sometime.
Cricket – do you use that adjustable buttplate on the deadshot? I don’t even barely touch mine.
I don’t even own a sandbag. I do however have a caldwell deadshot fieldpod
BTW – I shot my 16th and 17th chipmunks today. There is a bumper crop of them. Normally, about 20 is it for the year for my backyard. It will slow down as it gets hot but I am way ahead of last year. :5:
I did UPS International Express which costs a bit more but it went from his small town in Poland to me in Missouri, USA in three days. Less chance for damage that way and I wanted it quickly. Worth every penny. I will ask Michal to do that on the next one.
Stock is now finished and will ship tomorrow, can’t wait 😛
The pics were taken by the stock maker, it has not shipped just yet. I’ll Take a bunch of pics when it is in my hands. I Hope it feels as Good as it looks.

That is one sweet looking stock Cricket. The grain and coloring combo is unique. Post some photos when its together and ready for action. Were the pictures taken with the new high speed camera? They look great with a good choice of backgrounds.
It looks a lot like the one I made ☺

I wanted a wide flat area under the forearm for my rests but if I carried it I would go for one just like these. :winkn:
Same maker Elmer 😉
Thanks Zonk
That stock looks familiar. Do post pics once you have everything assembled.
