WOOX Gladiatore “High Grade” American Walnut Stock & Fore End: First Look

The new Gladiatore High Grade line represents a significant expansion of WOOX’s commitment to craftsmanship, expanding its signature Italian-American design for a growing audience of shotgun enthusiasts. Gladiatore enhances control, grip, and durability without sacrificing style. A functional upgrade for those who demand precision from their most trusted shotgun, whether on the range, in the field or for home defense.

“Each piece (of wood) is hand-selected and matched for its exceptional quality, grain depth, and contrast. We look for wood that stands apart from the rest and put them together to form a matching pair. The result is a truly unique stock set where no two sets are the same. This High Grade match is beauty in the most natural form and giving our end user a collector-grade build,” said Ben Fleming, CEO of WOOX USA. “With limited supply of this High Grade American Walnut, we’re going to build every one of them we can. This beautiful Walnut deserves to be shown off, and we know our customers will appreciate the unique and rare quality that this series brings.”

Gladiatore is offered as either a stock or fore end or a stock with fore end kit. Each has components built from genuine American walnut and, now, American High-Grade walnut, combining Italian design with more utility than the original equipment they replace. The design provides improved handling and a uniquely elevated shooting experience.

The Gladiatore Stock and Fore End Kit was designed for enhanced performance and elegance. It features an innovative aerospace aluminum coupling that ensures a solid fit. The raised comb on the butt stock has four quarter-inch LOP spacers for improved sight alignment and comfort, especially with optics-equipped shotguns. A lightweight microcell butt pad makes this stock a solid upgrade for any shooter. An integrated ambidextrous QD attachment point makes for quick, secure sling mounting for right or lefthanded shooters. The Gladiatore Fore End fits 6 ¾” and 7 ¾” action tubes and features dual M-LOK rail slots at 3 and 9 o’clock making it easy to mount lights, slings, and tactical gear. Aggressive checkering offers a non-slip grip with flared ends allowing for confident operation. A bonus fore end removal tool is included to aid in the five-minute installation procedure.

Like every WOOX creation, the Gladiatore High Grade line of stocks are crafted in Italy, assembled and tested in the USA, and are built to last a lifetime.
