Go to www.muzzleloadermag.com look at their advertising.  Lots of stock makers out there.  Also go to the CAMPFIRE on the same site and look at the forums.

I have two of them.  One shoots 220 grain with sabots like a dream, the other shoots round balls great.

I would leave it like it is unless you have the skill to restock it yourself from a blank you cut.

Wood M/L stocks don't come as a drop-in item, lots of tedious fitting and shaping even on a precarve, if you could find one for Bobcat. Bottom line, you would have a couple hundred at least in restocking a $90 gun.

If a wood stock is not available, you would have to take the composite stock off your gun, send it with a wood blank to a person with a duplicator who would use your stock as a pattern to duplicate it in wood. It would then be a precarve, similar, but not an exact fit for the barrel and lock which would have to be hand fit by you or a competent gunsmith (more bucks).

Here is a discussion on doing exactly what you have in mind, nice looking upgrades but done by guys who know how to build rifles from scratch.

Here is a step by step on how to upgrade a bobcat to a wood stock.

I am always intrigued by a good search for information.

Here is my latest finding.

A CVA Mountaineer is a wood stock version of a Bobcat. I don't know if the stock would interchange but suspect it would with very little fitting.

A place called Deer Creek Products specializes in CVA parts and may have a wood stock to fit your gun. They don't have a website but here is their contact info; Deer Creek Products (6989 E. Michigan Rd., Waldron, IN 46182, or PO Box 246, same ZIP; phone 765-525-6181)
