WTB Ruger 44 stock

[Crazy Horse]

I am looking for a stock for my brother in laws 44 ruger carbine. It was made in 1977 according to him.

My conversation with MPI stocks:

Do you have any stocks for a ruger 44 carbine, the tube fed model? Style? Price?

Yes we do. The style is a copy of the original. A Stock Blank is $389
and a Complete Restocking is $895. Our stocks are made from a
high grade fiberglass and epoxy. The blank needs fitting, glass bedding,
a recoil pad installed, rear sling stud and paint. For the Complete Restocking
you will need to send us your rifle and we will do all the work to your specs.

Thanks,
Lisa

Thanks for the info Randy.
I think they are insane wanting $895 to restock one. :.) I know where a nice 44 carbine is for less than that.

Macon gunstocks is the least cost alternative that I am aware of. Boyds stopped making them a few years back.

The Macon stock uses original buttplate. Boyds had a non-Ruger rubber recoil pad on it. If the rifle is half way decent, probably worth the money to have Macon fit it and finish it on his gun.

The Macon stock is $150 without buttplate, labor, or finishing. That is why when folk can find a Ruger take off stock you just pay the $300 or $400 and buy it.

there is a difference on the inside "fit" up front on the 44 carbines, what I do NOT remember, but we had to try 3 of them years ago, to find one that fit...or get it to a GOOD stock guy for proper 'inletting'
