R.M.G.S. for my QB based 308 Corsair

R.M.G.S. stands for Richard's Microfit Gun Stocks and they have been in business since 1948.  The stocks that R.M.G.S. make are laminated, unfinished and about 99% inletted and they come in a variety of color patterns.  So there is a little work needed before the stock is complete but, by doing this, they can offer their stocks at a MUCH cheaper price than a custom air gun stock that is already finished.  They are located in Burbank, California and they make very affordable gun stocks for not only various powder burner rifles but also for 1 air gun.  And that air gun is the QB78 platform.

The QB air guns are a Chinese copy of the popular Crosman 160/167 air guns.  They are very affordable and can be heavily modded as there are tons of mods and parts for the gun.  The Corsair build is based off of the QB78 except, the Corsair is in .308" and .357".  Randy at www.adventuresinairguns.com has the Corsairs for sale and he has them assembled by Dan McVey at www.xp-airguns.com/Home_Page.php.  The Corsairs are very powerful and accurate and make roughly 250 F.P.E.!

After picking up my R.M.G.S. stock, I quickly came home to begin the sanding and coating process.  The stock color that i choose was the black and grey with Rosewood accents on the pistol grip.  I opted not to have the forearm tip done in Rosewood.  The option is free and can either be left out all together or added to either the forearm or just the pistol grip.  Its a nice feature.  I also opted for black and grey to keep the gun dark looking as it is primarily for hunting.

So here are some pics of the bare stock.

Here is a pics of the stock after the final sanding.  You may or may not be able to see that in this pics, the stock is shinier and cleaner looking:

Here are a few pics of the stock after various coatings of sealer and finisher:

 

 Here is a pic of the swivel stud installed for my bipod:

Here are a couple of pics of the Morgan adjustable butt pad pre and aft installation:

Here are a couple of final pics of the gun outdoors in its natural environment.  Sun light is usually the best way of telling whether or not the stock needs more work.  Either the finish is too shiny or you will see spots that you might have missed while using the finisher.  Luckily i got it right....lol:

I will definitely be doing more on this gun.


STAY TUNED!!!
