DUNLAP WOODCRAFTS is proud to announce the availability of direct copies of stocks for many popular U.S. and European military rifles and muskets manufactured between 1730 and 1950. Replacement stocks for several of the most common reproduction of the mid-eighteenth century muskets are also available.

All of the above replacement stocks are being produced from master patterns copied directly from top quality original guns of each type. The wood for all of the American and British produced weapons is veneer grade, kiln-dried American black walnut unless otherwise specified. The wood for the Austrian and German produced weapons will be beech, unless otherwise specified. All metal parts fits are planned to within .005 of the original parts size (normally will be cut undersize if off at all). Only the inter portions of the buttplate and the square portion of the breech, where the round cutter can not cut a square corner, need to be fit on all of the stocks. Most parts fits are press in fit with original parts. All external wood surfaces are planned to be .020 oversize to allow for finish sanding. The ramrod hole is drilled in all models originally having ramrods. Experienced gunsmiths have final-assembled several of the models listed below with all original parts en less than 12 hours.

 

      In addition to all of the available stocks patterns listed below, we can serve small numbers of replacement stocks directly from the stocks from your original guns with modification as specified. Please contact me by any of the means above for quotes on time, prices, and any additional information required.

1795/1808 Musket Stock This high quality stock is a composite of four original stocks and can be finished to the pattern carved or can be varied to copy a variety of slightly smaller original individual stocks. Since the 1795 musket parts were all hand-made, almost all parts vary in size from one musket to another. Therefore, only the lock internals are inlet, leaving enough wood to final inlet the variety of original lock plates. The inletting for the buttplate and trigger guard is undersize and requires detailed fitting of these parts. The stock forearm is long enough to permit the use of up to a 45-inch long barrel.

1814 and 1817 Common Rifle Stocks Each of these stocks were copied from excellent quality original guns, with the barrel final fit and the remainder of the other parts inlet .20 to .035 undersize to permit a better final fit of original parts.

 

1816 and 1842 Springfield Musket Stocks Each of these stocks was copied from excellent quality original guns with all parts final fit except the locks on the 1816 model, which are cut .040 undersize to permit the final fitting of the original locks which varied slightly  because of manual reproduction. Special orders for extra wood remaining around the rear portion of the lock mortise on the 1842, to finish the Model 1835 variation, are available upon request.

 

1819 and  1841 Hall Rifle Stocks  This stock was copied from an excellent quality original 1819 model. It has been inletted for the barrel, receiver. Buttplate and ramrod- channel. By requesting that the inletting for the trigger guard plate be omitted, the stock can be reworked to fit the M-1841 Hall. Additionally, this stock can be used for the 1836 Hall Carbine by requesting that the trigger plate not be inletted. By shortening the forearm and using a modified dovetail bit, the ramrod channel can be fitted for the ramrod bayonet.

 

Model 1841 or Mississippi Rifle This stock is for the one rifle and has everything final fit except the buttplate, the band-keeper springs and the nosecap. The stock can be special- ordered without to patchbox  and sideplate to produce  the Confederate model, and/or with the metal parts opening undersize to accommodate reproduction parts.

 

Potzdam  Infantry  Musket This copy of a fine German infantry musket is carved with the barrel channel to dimension and the inletting for the other parts approximately .035  undersize allow for the minor variations in the original parts dimensions between  the various German armories. The stock will be carved from American-grown  beech unless otherwise specified. Due to major problems trying to duplicate the semi-enclosed ramrod channel, all stocks will be cut with a ¼  in wide ramrod channel and drilled with a ¼ in  ramrod drill.  For those individuals trying to exactly duplicate the original stocks, we will special cut for a smaller ramrod channel, but will not drill for the ramrod hole.

 

1842 Austrian Laurenz Infantry Musket This copy of a fine Austrian weapon, which was available in both rifled and smooth-bore models, is carved to the dimension of the original parts. The stock will be carved from American-grown beech unless otherwise specified. Due to major problems trying to duplicate the semi-enclosed ramrod channel, all stocks will be cut with a ¼ in wide ramrod channel and drilled with a ¼ in ramrod drill. For those individuals trying to exactly duplicate the original stocks, we will special cut for a smaller ramrod channel, but will not drill for the ramrod hole.  

1855 2-Band Rifle This stock is for the one rifle and has everything final fit except the  buttplate, the band-keeper spring and the nosecap. This stock can be special ordered to make the long-range sight model, or without the patchbox and for the 1863 lock to make the Fayetteville rifle

1855 3-Band Rifled Musket Stock with Patchbox  This stock is for the one gun and requires minor inletting in the lock area for the 1855 humpback lock. All other areas of the stock are cut the same as the 1861 stock.

1

Plymouth Rifle This stock was copied from an excellent quality original rifle stock. All original parts should fit real well. All parts except the buttplate, band keeper springs and nosecap are final fit.

1861 3-Band Rifled Musket and 3-band Richmond Stock This stock will make all of the Springfield 3-Band rifled musket stock patterns from 1861 – 1865. Everything is cut in place except the final fit of the buttplate, the spoon indention for the 1861 ramrod, the band-keeper spring and the nosecap. With a minimum amount of inletting it will also make the 1855 3-Band Springfield stock without the patchbox and the Richmond musket.  This stock is also used to make both the 1855 and the 1861-65 artillery models. This stock is also used to stock the 1866 and 1867 Allen conversions of the early Springfield trapdoors.

Richmond Carbine This is a direct copy of a high quality custom reproduction of an original carbine. All parts except the buttplate, breech and band-keeper spring are press-in fit with original parts.

Jenks Carbine This is a direct copy of an excellent quality original stock. All parts except the buttplate and breech are press-in fit with original parts.

1861 Colt Special 3-Band Rifled-Musket These stocks were copied directly from an excellent quality original rifled-musket. This stock also is a perfect fit for the L&GY and Amoskeg. This stock also is used to make the 1861 Special Artillery model by requesting that the middle band area not be cut. Note, this 1861 special stock does not fit the 1861 Springfield or other contract muskets except as noted above. The tang on the buttplate for this stock is narrower than the standard 1861 3-band musket, the lock is different, and the buttstock shape is different.

 

Whitney New Model Mississippi Stock This stock was copied from an excellent reproduction rifle after detailed comparison of all stock dimensions with an excellent quality original rifle.

 

Remington Zouve Rifle This stock was copied from an original Zouve stock; however, because of the slight variation in the original lock parts, the lock mortise is cut approximately .040 undersize. Most Italian reproduction parts will fit real well in this stock.

2-Band Enfield Rifle   The stock was copied from an original Tower stock, and is cut close enough to restore original rifles and to fit most Parker Hale and other Italian reproduction parts.

2-Band Enfield Stock for Barnett Modification The stock was copied from an original high quality Tower stock with the Barnett conversion.

3-Band Enfield Rifled-Musket The stock was copied from an original Tower stock and is cut close enough to restore original guns or fit most Parker Hale and other Italian reproduction parts.

1866 and 68 Springfield Trapdoor Cadet Rifle Stock This is a composite stock that with minimum handwork can make fine copies of either model.

 

1868 and 1870 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle Stocks These stocks were copied from a high quality original rifle. The 1868 stock needs only very minor inletting to lengthen the breech area, and can be used to fit both models. All other parts are inletted to dimension and should be press-in fit with original parts.

 

1873 and 1884 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle Stocks Each of these stocks were copied directly from an excellent quality original stock and should be press-in fit with original parts, and only need final fitting of the buttplate and breech area. The 1884 model can be ordered with the ramrod channel expanded for the ramrod bayonet.

REPLACEMENT STOCKS FOR MODERN REPRODUCTION MUSKETS

  Charlaisville Musket Stocks The stocks are cut to dimension to be used to replace the one-piece and two-piece reproduction musket stocks for the Italian reproduction models. Copies of the forearm of this stock are being used to restore original stocks.

Brown Bess Stocks These stocks are provided as replacement stocks for the Italian mass-produced Brown Bess Muskets. The stocks are provided in two versions. The first is a detailed direct copy of the reproduction musket. The second variety has approximately ¾ of an inch more drop and makes the finished gun much more comfortable to handle and shoot. The only modification to the original Italian hardware is to slightly bend the brass triggerguard to accommodate the slight increase in drop. Both variations are nearly completely inletted for all of the hardware. Available in black walnut, black cherry and straight-grained ash at the same price.
