    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build The project has really been fun to work. Not difficult at all really. Just lots of measuring and thinking things thru before doing them. I did most of my inletting when I had square surfaces to work with which I think made it easier. I'm not sure what the...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Over the past few days I haven’t worked on the stock too much. I did finish up the butt bad. You can see how it turned out in this picture. If you remember I used the same router bit for the barrel channel as I did for the action. That is a 1.25” diameter...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Off the shelf. Frued 18-130. It's an 1.25" Core Box Bit. I did have to open the action inlet just a touch more. I used a 1.25" wooden dowel rop with some 60 grit sandpaper wrapped around it. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Best Drop-in Savage Barrel?

    Re: Best Drop-in Savage Barrel? You will not go wrong with Shilen. I can't speak for the CBI I have heard good things about them. I do have a Shilen in 25/06 and it is a hammer.

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Last night the only work that I was able to get done on the stock was the start of the butt pad. I wanted to keep it as cheap as possible. I ended up using a cutting board which was purchased for $2.59 and a pair of black flip flops purchased for $2.50. The...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Thanks for the thought. I did think of that originally that's one of the reasons that I chose to do the first one on my 223 Rem. If it ends up being a problem I was going to drill in from the action inlet through the pistol grip area into the the buttstock. I...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Last night I was able to shape the forearm a little. I still need to round the bottom a little more but it is getting much closer. I used the same router bit I cut the inlet for the barrel and action with to shape the side panels on the forearm. I also got...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Last night I used a jigsaw to cut the rest of the forearm off. My blade was not cutting at a true 90 degrees to the side, so I cut it off my line and used a belt sander to bring it into the cut line. I also made up my pillars for when I go to bed this. I...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build The router bit finally showed up so I was able to get some more accomplished on it last night. Cutting the barrel channel and action inlet was easy. I used my router table and fence in order to accomplish this. Next was inletting for the trigger. This...

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    A little background… Last year I decided to tackle modifying the factory tupperware stocks on my three savages. I did this with the use of bondo and it worked pretty well. They were much more comfortable to shoot and have held up really well. Here is the one that I am replacing with the new...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50 Mildot Rifle Scope

    Re: Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50 Mildot Rifle Scope The thing with the eye focus out all the way is there isn't enough threads left to stabilize it. Run it all the way out again and push it from side to side while looking through the scope. You will see the cross hairs move all over the place.
