What do I do with a gunstock blank?

[Mack]

Knowing that I enjoy woodworking and gunstock finishing. a friend gave me a gunstock blank as a gift. But I don't own any rifles that need stock replacements. Ideally I suppose, I could buy a used rifle that has a damaged stock and use the new blank to replace it. But I've never seen anything like this for sale here or on gunbroker.com etc.

The other solution would be to buy a new action/receiver/barrel, etc. and build a new rifle from scratch. But I have no idea where to buy something like this either.

Any advice?

Make a war club with it like Chingachgook from "Last of The Mohicans"...

Then learn how to throw it...

How nice is the wood? What kind is it? Good figure? Burl?

I may be interested to cut it up for knive handles.

I think it's walnut...

I'll snap a digital photo of it and post it tomorrow.

How big is it?

I ran accroos a guy that has a TC Hawkins cap lock with a brocken stoc. Id love the get the rifle for my son to shoot blackpowder with me.

Just so happen that I have a TC Halkins that I made from a kit many moos ago when the rivers ran blue & Orange& green and Black & brown. At least the Nashua and MerryMuck Rivers did.


So I could draw you a full scale pattern of my stock. (I carved mine myself and everyone makes them a little bit different) and you would have a hobby.

Let me see if I can stil get the brokin Hawkins



Now this is Bizzare! Wacking a Pigs head with a club? That just anit Koshur
