Just picked up a used set. 30" trap bbls and 28" skeet (ported) plus a full set of Kolar tubes, all cased (shoud have wheels!). Very nice gun ... but it has a plastic, recoil absorbing stock which does not turn me on. The stock has a very nice wood grain look, but .... Anyone have or know where I can get a nice wood stock?

Not sure that the stock is not aftermarket. Bought it used. I have never liked these stocks though some people swear by them. Wish I had the walnut to match the forearm. The plastic stock does have a nice grain and if it was not 'shock mounted' I could live with it.

Cole has all types ... in all price ranges. I have enquired re a butt stock only. I made one for one of my Rem 3200s so a blank may have to do it.
 
Cole runs a good shop ....but you should consider a matched set for stock and forend to really maintain the value of that gun ...in my opinon / or I think you might be disappointed in the long run.

Its only money ..../and you've already invested in a nice gun .../ it'd be a shame to not do it right now ...
 
Yes, BigJimP .... but I still have what came on it if I ever decide to sell, so may go for something selling for less that $1500 and make do! Coles has a set of field grade that may do nicely for a mere $600.

If your shock absorbing unit is like the other spring and air pressure ones, perhaps you could fit the stock with a fixed "dummy" replacement.
 
Cole and Etchen both run very good / reputable shops ....replacement stocks are expensive ...and the wood needs to be aged and dried properly ...and I think they price their stocks competitively.

Replacing a stock / with a higher end custom stock ...isn't a cheap proposition ....if you want it done right .
 
There's a significant price difference between factory and custom wood. Since you're in SoCal, why not head over to Pacific Sporting Arms, in Azusa. They're a Beretta dealer and can probably order the exact wood you want.
 
I would stay away from a set of field stocks, too much drop for a competition gun. You'll have hundreds in adjustable combs, and recoil pads.

"If your shock absorbing unit is like the other spring and air pressure ones, perhaps you could fit the stock with a fixed "dummy" replacement."

And, have emailed the folks in Azuza. I have talked with them about my Perazzi MS80 and they are good.

You list as SoCal. I am in Temecula. A life member at Miramar (SDSSA) ... for all the good that does me now.

Yep, been there, done that. Have made a few myself after paying lots for a blank. Last for one of my M3200 trap guns.
