Aesthetics and ergonomic elements of custom gun stocks are as important as functional and technical aspects. Stocks must not only be functional, solid, and accurate but must also be built according to individual preferences and needs to be comfortable to hold.
This sometimes means going outside the box and designing something new that nobody had thought of before, with the sole objective of achieving a certain result.
In this article we talk about an adjustable pinless mechanics for semi-automatics and small stocks that can significantly improve the shooting experience.

What does custom gun stocks mean?
Today, clients ask for custom rifle stocks, especially when they are not just simple collectors but also use firearms for recreational activities, such as hunting or target shooting. They need a rifle stock made just for them, with a proper fit for high-level performance and to hit the target consistently.
The ergonomics of the stock and possible uses of the arm have become elements of critical importance for the success of the product. Customization is therefore necessary to adapt to the different requirements of shooters.
Height and weight as well as length of the arms vary from one person to another, so a standard stock cannot satisfy each individual need. Stocks should be created to fit perfectly for the shooter holding the firearm, depending on its characteristics and the shooter’s preferences.
This often means failing, figuring out what the problem is, trying again, and finding the best way to meet the customer’s request. Here’s an example.
Mechanics for semi-automatics and small custom gun stocks: problem & solution
Semi-automatics and small stocks lack the space to insert the pins of the adjustable mechanism.
After doing trials, tests, prototypes, and experiments, our experts found the perfect solution: they created a compact mechanism/accessory with a 'scissor' adjustment system that does not require classic guide pins. Besides solving the problem of the space, the accessory also proved to be extremely light and therefore does not affect the balance of the rifle.
The Minelli’s adjustable mechanics for semi-automatics and small custom gun stocks allows you to adjust the height of those stocks that for reasons of internal space can’t be equipped with traditional adjustments with sliding pins.
Why is it so revolutionary?
Here are the advantages:
- you can assemble it in small spaces, so it is ideal for semiautomatic and hunting rifles that often have tie rods and central tubes
- it is compact, lightweight, and noninvasive, which is perfect for shooters and hunters who must carry the firearm for a long time
- it can be fitted for any kind of firearm without modifying the shape of the stock
- it is completely customizable, as the movement and support arms can be extended and shortened depending on the height you prefer
Finding a supplier that has a rich and complete catalogue and can offer many models and types of custom rifle stocks is the key to being competitive in today’s increasingly demanding market.
The right stock is one that:
- makes the shooter feel completely comfortable
- lets the shooter be accurate with each shot
- allows the shooter to hit the target consistently
- lets the shooter feel stable and safe
Feeling good while shooting is especially important when choosing a precision rifle stock. The accuracy of the shot, in fact, depends a lot on how the shooter feels when holding the rifle. A top-quality wooden stock is more likely to be comfortable because it is designed and created according to users’ needs.
The problem is that most wood makers do not have the right machinery and tools to offer high-quality custom gun stocks and adjustable components, so they offer standard stock dimensions that fit the average shooter but are not built according to individual preferences.
Choosing the right manufacturer is critical to ensure a high-quality, precision rifle stock. Make sure the wood manufacturing company is reliable: if it has decades of experience in wood manufacturing and is currently a supplier for the best and famous gun companies, it means you can trust it.
Minelli’s goal is to guarantee custom-made products that meet clients’ standards. Thanks to our experience, technologies, and tools, we can create high-quality custom rifle stocks and adjustable components, customizing them according to your clients’ standards and requests. We can also enhance them with a wide range of finishing options to create a unique object.
