Gunsmithing My home made stock for F/TR

[rcampbell]

So I had a piece of Rutland laying around and thought to myself, "since I'm trying to be a cheap-a$$ for my F/TR build, I could just build a stock!". So I draw out a template and get the thing cut out on the bandsaw etc. I'm going to be shooting a Savage target action this year, so I got it inletted for that...

At this point I figured I should test fit the thing to see if it's going to actually fit before I get too gung-ho!

Yup looks like at least one or two bolt holes line up, and by crackey I think I even got the depth right.

Ok, next thing, I better get some pillars glued in there before I forget.

So now that things seem to be fitting, and the pillars are in a machined flush, I think I'll add some adjustment to this stock.

It's high time I decided how the forestock is going to look...

Ok, at this point it's all roughed out, ready for sanding. The adjustment hardware is on, the forestock is contoured. Next I will bed the action. After that I will likely do some sanding, get some sanding sealer on there, sand a little more then hopefully get a finish on it. More pics to come when it's done.

Very very nice. Should turn out to be a great stock.

Where did you get the blank from? Thanks

He mentioned that he had some Rutland lying around. I would take that to mean he had some laminated wood material from here: http://www.rutply.com

lash is correct. Specifically it is a product called Rutland Stratabond.

Good work. I see evidence of shopping splurges at Cambodian Tire and Royal-Wagon.

Welcome, fellow Canuck!

Here's a little mock-up of how it's supposed to look when it's done.
