What stock

[B Staley]

I have a Caywood round barrel 42" long what would be a good stock to fit it. I look on TOW but didn't see any for round barrels  any suggestions .

What do you like ?   Could be an English or Colonial fowler, is it smooth by the way ?  Track wolf shows English fowler stock  with undersize bbl. inlet 5/8"  but is slow delivery, call Pecatonica or knob mt.or sitting fox they may sell you a stock you can work with ?

probably a Caywood stock would fit it well.

I'm sure Caywood would have a stock at about 5x the price of TOW. Just wanted to see what my options are. Thanks for the replies.

There are a number of options open to you, but the only stock that "would fit it " referring to your barrel; is more than likely the one available from Caywood. There are other stocks , as you mentioned i.e. Track of the Wolf , or Petaconica, etc but they are in the " can be made to fit " category, in that they mostly have undersized barrel channels cut.  You could obtain a stock without any  pre cut channel and send it out to have your barrel inlet. There are some on this board who offer this service.  Otherwise, you are in for some work.  Either $ or work.  Nothing new

Bob thanks for the reply.

You might want to check out Knob Mountain Muzzleloading (Dave keck).  He has a bunch of patterns on his web site.  You could buy a blank, ship it and the barrel to Dave, and he'll inlet the barrel, drill the ram rod hole (if you wish), and also shape the butt to a pattern you chose.  Just a thought......

Ditto what Ed says. Look at Dave's site, find what you want, call him up and have a talk.  A good many of the builders, Pro, and Rookie use him.  But wait a while so he can finish my English Sporting, and SMR.

Thanks guys I will look at his site. Going to call Danny Caywood on Monday and see what he can do.

[Mark Elliott]

Just so the scratch built section has a representative,  you could just get a stock blank, inlet the barrel yourself, and build whatever you like.   However, most builders who are not masochistic, like me,  would do as Ed suggested.

Problem solved I was getting ready to buy a kit from Danny when I came across a left hand English game gun that was less than the kit..... so I can put the 62 cal rifle barrel in the stock I have already and still have the 12 gauge Fowler.😃
