You "left wingers" should get a kick out of this.
"Custom doesn't come in a box". We've all heard it. Here's my latest attempt at making good on it.
This is a switch barrel left handed Stiller that'll eventually get fitted up into a Manners "M40A1 kinda sorta looking" stock. (didn't bother to look at the model prior to writing this.)
The bedding block started as a piece of raw forging 6AL-4V. It's been normalized, heat treated, etc... The material alone was almost $500 bucks.
A few hours dinking around on the computer, some cussing as I got my speeds/feeds situated, this is what I was rewarded with:
This thing will be here after the cockroaches take over.
Enjoy.

EDIT: 03-10-2017. Moving folders around in Photobucket caused these pics to fall apart. Here's a slideshow showing the work:

1st photo: Cutting the blank in the saw. I meant to take more photos, but got so busy that I completely spaced it.
Remaining photos: About 90% done. Just some little stuff now. Bolt handle inlet, ejection port, and counterbores for the pillars.
