Gunsmithing Not a Gunsmith but I did a little customization #1

[SingleShot85]

Problem: eye alignment and cheek weld

Solution: Karsten or make my own

Rifle CZ 455 17hmr/ .22lr switch barrel

Materials: 1/4" steel rod, 10x32 hex head screws, 7/8" long nut(sorry did not get the exact name but the 1/4" rod goes through it perfectly)

1. draw out desired cheek piece

2. Make a jig to hole stock square, we used the bottom metal and screwed the stock to a 2x4

3. locate and drill 1/4" holes

4. Added a 2x6 to the jig to aid in cutting on the band saw

Sorry cell died so action pics are done but I have finished pic to go along

5. drilled out hole to .02" less than anchors and set anchors in to butt stock, we set them just below the surface of the stock

.......... and next

Great job SingleShot.

Did you end up plugging the holes on the bottom of the stock, or leave them open? And what did you use for the anchors?

You should add an Accu-Pod.

No I left them open in case water gets in side it can drain and but I never really thought about.

In the first picture you can see the hex nut, I chose that because it had a thicker wall over some tubing I looked at. The main reason was because the threading for the set screws

Kool!

If you didn't seal the wood on the cut surface do that too. I didnt see it mentioned anywhere.
