Kansas City Munny 24 Posted August 26 Has anyone modified a Stoeger Coach Gun stock? Specifically, reducing the 2X4 feel and rounding and reducing the shape and size of the wrist and for end? Thanks! KCM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watab kid 818 Posted August 27 never thought to bother but i can see where you might choose to , i doubt it would be a big problem if you dont overdo it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunger Dan 142 Posted August 27 Only modification Ive done to the stock is to cut a negative cant on it...helps greatly with recoil bruises. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozark Okie 16 Posted August 27 Hey Munny, I thinned my Stoeger forearm...now fits my hand much better. Took off approx 1/8" on each side, without getting into "checkering". Did it by masking the area I wanted to reduce and then using flat bed of belt sander. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eyesa Horg 1,422 Posted August 27 (edited) I sanded all the checkering off mine and added a thumb groove sorta like my hunting shotguns have. Then refinished with Tru-Oil. Looks nice I think. I hated the stamped checkering and reddish lame finish. Edited August 27 by Eyesa Horg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kansas City Munny 24 Posted August 27 Great job on the fore end! That's really what I'm after. I'd also like to change the 2X4 feel at the wrist. Probably shoot the Stoeger this weekend, then pull the wood and see how it goes. I do have some nice walnut stain, linseed oil and bee's wax... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamond Jake 246 Posted August 27 I've been milling my own walnut; plan to make revolver grips out of some of the prettier wood. Might be the same for my Stoeger SXS. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gayle Lady T 21 Posted August 27 I hadn't thought about doing this, but after reading the results, I think I'll work on mine! thanks for the inspiration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kansas City Munny 24 Posted August 28 I'm surprised more people have not done any work to the chunky Stoeger stocks. Seems there a plenty in service and most CAS shooters are pretty handly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 412 Posted August 29 I have modified some to make a straight stock ,(English style) instead of pistol grip. It keeps from banging my fingers with the back of the trigger guard. Blackfoot 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
