A <i>straight grip</i> stock (A) proceeds smoothly from toe to the trigger, giving a nearly horizontal holding angle for the trigger hand, while a full <i><a href="/wiki/Pistol_grip" title="Pistol grip">pistol grip</a></i> stock (E) contains a separate stand-out grip piece, providing a nearly vertical angle for the trigger hand for maximal <a href="/wiki/Ergonomics" title="Ergonomics">ergonomics</a>, and is commonly found on modern military rifles such as the ubiquitous <a href="/wiki/AK-47" title="AK-47">AK-47</a> and <a href="/wiki/M16_rifle" title="M16 rifle">M16</a>/<a href="/wiki/M4_carbine" title="M4 carbine">M4</a> families of <a href="/wiki/Assault_rifle" title="Assault rifle">assault rifles</a>. In between the two extremes, the <i>semi-grip</i> stock (B) is perhaps the most common sporting rifle stock, with a steeper angle cut into the stock to provide a more diagonal angle for the trigger hand. Modern target-style stocks have generally moved towards a fuller, more vertical grip, though built into the stock rather than made as a separate piece. <i><a href="/wiki/J._G._Ansch%C3%BCtz" title="J.

In making stocks from solid wood, one must take into account the natural properties and variability of woods. The grain of the wood determines the strength, and the grain should flow through the wrist of the stock and out the toe; having the grain perpendicular to these areas weakens the stock considerably.<sup id="cite_ref-semisynth_16-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-semisynth-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition to the type of wood, how it is treated can have a significant impact on its properties. Wood for gunstocks should be slowly dried, to prevent grain collapse and splitting, and also to preserve the natural color of the wood; custom stockmakers will buy blanks that have been dried two to three years and then dry it for several additional years before working it into a stock. Careful selection can yield distinctive and attractive features, such as crotch figure, feathering, fiddleback, and burl, which can significantly add to the desirability of a stock. While a basic, straight grained blank suitable for a utilitarian stock might sell for US$20, an exhibition grade blank with superb figure could price in the range of US$2000. Blanks for one piece stocks are more expensive than blanks for two piece stocks, due to the greater difficulty in finding the longer blanks with desirable figure. Two piece stocks are ideally made from a single blank, so that the wood in both parts shows similar color and figure.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Laminated_wood">Laminated wood</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Stock_(firearms)&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Laminated wood"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Laminated wood consists of two or more layers of wood, impregnated with glue and attached permanently to each other.

When the gun shoots, the recoil shifts the receiver backwards, moving the trigger conversely forward (from the receiver's <a href="/wiki/Frame_of_reference" title="Frame of reference">frame of reference</a>) and relaxes the pulling force on the trigger, allowing it to reset. When the shooter's forward push overcomes the recoil momentum and shifts the receiver back towards the front, the trigger is "bumped" against the shooter's finger and gets depressed again, firing off another round, which produces another recoil that repeats the above process. This allows a cycling rate of firing much faster than what the shooter's own finger can typically achieve, but is usually inaccurate due to the shooter often having to <a href="/wiki/Fire_from_the_hip" class="mw-redirect" title="Fire from the hip">fire from the hip</a> to still hold the gun firmly. </p><p>A <a href="/wiki/Bump_stock" title="Bump stock">bump stock</a> replaces the manual forward push with a <a href="/wiki/Spring_(device)" title="Spring (device)">spring</a> mechanism at the interface between the receiver and the pistol grip/buttstock. The user only has to simply hold the trigger back against the grip, and the spring-assisted forward push will itself work against the recoil to cycle the shooting. This allows an increased rate of fire that can reach several hundred <a href="/wiki/Rounds_per_minute" class="mw-redirect" title="Rounds per minute">rounds per minute</a>, and is far more consistent in performance compared to the manual bump fire. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="For_handguns">For handguns</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Stock_(firearms)&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: For handguns"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Arty08.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Arty08.jpg/200px-Arty08.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="133" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Arty08.jpg/300px-Arty08.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Arty08.jpg/400px-Arty08.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="427" /></a><figcaption>The Luger Artillery Pistol with its wooden holster attached</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg/220px-Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="85" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg/330px-Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg/440px-Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="193" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/%C4%8Cesk%C3%A1_zbrojovka_Uhersk%C3%BD_Brod" title="Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod">CZ</a> <a href="/wiki/%C5%A0korpion" title="Škorpion">Škorpion</a> with its folding wire stock extended.</figcaption></figure> <p>Many <a href="/wiki/Handgun" title="Handgun">handguns</a> also support the use of shoulder stocks to handle recoil.
