Hi density plastic for stock should be pretty easily found? I don't own a .52 or .54 so I would need you to send me some dimensions for inner and outer sizing. The cup would, I assume, be a fairly generic depth so I would probably size that the same as probably MMP Sabots.
I doubt regulsr plastic would hold up and finding a polymer formula to use that would hold up better for a sabot might be more difficult
