    Krossdal Gunstock is a rifle stock manufacturer located in Egilsstadir, Iceland. It is quite unusual to see gun-related products of Icelandic origin, isn’t it? In fact, Krossdal Gunstock claims to be the first ever rifle stock manufacturer from this country. Their first product was introduced at IWA 2018 arms exhibition held in Nuremberg, Germany.

    The first and main product of this company is a wooden bolt action rifle stock. The laminate hardwood used in their stocks is supplied by a Finnish company called CWP (Colored Wood Products). Krossdal stocks are then machined on 4-axis CNC machines. Here is a video showing some of the manufacturing processes.

    As seen in the video, the lower portion (from the grip to the end of the forend) of these stocks is made out of a different color laminate wood epoxied to the main stock. It is primarily done for the aesthetical purposes.

These stocks come with Accu-Shot folding and adjustable monopods and LimbSaver recoil pads. The grip features finger grooves. There is also a benchrest style attachment that is clipped to the front portion of the stock via magnets. The forend also features a QD sling swivel socket and a possibility to mount a short Picatinny rail section for attaching a bipod.
