Bamboo is a bad choice for a wood stock, you need something strong, while bamboo may not break, Its flexible and it does chip. It would probably be hard to buy a blank of bamboo big enough anyway. Just try buying a synthetic stock or a wood one off ebay and try your hand at it. It takes at leats 5 hours to fiinsh and a whole lot of patience.

how do you know i cant mill?

and youve never given me any input on sniping. i know there are no snipers.

and really people are suggesting things that will never happen. i wouldnt ever use carbon fibre. im gona use wood maybe maple.

no offense buy you're almost as annoying as me. *oh burn*

and i chose blade cause i dont really know of any other super cheap pump guns



you said yourself you can't mill... and why not carbon fibre? simple and not really expensive.
