Custom Leemak stock meets Wokbutt
I didn’t care for how my old Leemak shouldered, and missed my wokbutt, so i inletted a wokbutt into the back of my new laminate one and presto! Both look to be made for each other. 😀 I need to take the shine off the Tru oil finish, or just bite the bullet and fog it black, but will wait for a while too decide.
My old one is in the For sale section.

Well it looks great. I was just wondering in case I get one. I change bottle every 10 shots and am pumping, so I would want as little work as possible.
Thanks
I could have set it flush without routing it in allowing it to spin, but i wanted it super stout, and i thought the finished look would be better. I had to unscrew two screws on the other stock and it would rotate around, so i’m pretty used too it now. The top screw that normally screws into the tank disc is no longer needed because the Wokbutt fits tight in the inlet i made.
I’m 6’3″, so dropping the point the gun shouldered was my main goal.
Do you think a little could come off the back of the woodstock to avoid that?
Yes, an allen wrench, one full turn out and it’s off. I feel it’s a worthwhile trade for the comfort of the stock. I used a threaded brass insert to attach the Wokbutt to the stock, shown below next to a .25 Kodiak.
Do you have to take Wokbut off to unscrew tank? I want one.
A poly will ‘darken’ it up also without the yellowing… in other words the gray in the laminate would still be gray… goes better with black than yellow IMHO. Bedliner that puppy!
I was going for as dark a finish as possible, and even tried a test piece with black stain, but it lost all the character of the laminate.. The tru oil definitely darkened it up, it lost a little character, but i got what i was looking for. My other stock was too much contrast with the black gun, i wanted this one as dark as possible.
Works good together. Do NOT black out that laminate! 🙂 I will say though that the laminates don’t take well to an oil finish…. too much yellowing. I learned that a while back and guess I mighta shoulda said something. Look way better with a clear poly over them or even no finish at all… because of the impregnated wood they really don’t require finish.
nice, very nice

Looks great Stower I would never paint laminate it just looks really nice to me but I am a woodworker so what would I say!! There is one idea for yourself or someone that would want access to the air bottle you could fit a shoulder bolt in the walk butt and they make these buttons with detents in them that would catch a hole drilled in the walk butt and can be rotated and then rotated back and lock in the hole just an idea, for me it wouldn’t be a problem like it is just something I thought I would throw out there. Don’t take me wrong sometimes I don’t like to tell others ideas after a nice stock like that just an idea.
