What is the deal with advanced weapon stocks?? No matter what resources I use, it always gives lousy results. When they don't crit fail outright the experimentation successes are still pitiful, usually some kind of failure. I have almost never seen a great success. Plus they can turn out one of 3 ways if you succeed: high min, high max dmg or both high. Chances to win the jackpot in a lottery are better than getting this piece of junk right. Haven't seen anything like that with any other weapon schematics. It feels like it checks the wrong skill thought the risk displayed is very slim, as usual.

Its been posted here before, but the AWSs are bugged.
You can use Corellian Decidious Wood and Link Steel alum of any quality, and by experimenting with first 6 points, then 3, then 1, get a stock with around 40min, 40max damage, and down around 0.35 speed.

you can get 40/40 .3 stocks with any material, you jsut have to toy with experimentation. SOme people it takes hours, and some people you will get it on the first shot (like me)

I think the way to get a near perfect advanced weapon stock ie. all the experimentation dots filled in, is to start experimenting with 6 points (might be 4,there is a thread on here somewhere).Then if you 'great success' continue using rest of your points 1 or 2 at a time until damage bar is filled in.This worked for me.I usually experimented in 2 or 3 point steps.Starting with 6 points I could max out both damage and speed and still have points remaining.I am using 680 SR wood and 750 SR aluminium.
Hope this helps.

I do 5, 2, 1 I normally fill out the damage line, then I have 4 points left over for HAM.

Thanks for the replies, searched before I posted but didn't find anything, probably an old thread. Makes you wonder why things like this aren't fixed, would rather see a fix for annoying things like this than new publishes/expansions that add even more problems (mounts anyone?).
I will try experimenting with less than max, hope that works better. I do have a 40 40 schem that took me hours and hundreds of tries (thanks Devs, what a pain)but wanted to make a new one with better wood to lower ham costs some. I'll post if it works any better.
One thing I noticed on other weapons/parts is that I actually get better results sometimes if I have not all great successes, but alesser result in between. Had arather weirdthing happen yesterday:got a new **edit** alu so reexperimented dx2. The initial try allowed me to experiment dmg/spd by several boxes higher than any others i tried since. I thought it was the new max for the new material and the exp wasn't all greats so didn't make a schem, but wish I had! It is by 9dmg and .3 speed better and even has higher condition than the other guns! 
I only had 1 set of matching resources in my bag so I certainly used the same resources for all...

They are too busy with the crafting nerf to actually fix something that has been broken for ages
