Thread: Another stock building attempt

I tried building a stock duplicator earlier this year but I failed at that

I did a stock for my 6.5 yrs ago. Got Wood Masters in Rotorua to do the routing, very worth while.

So I got the bedding stuff Friday and done that. Just cracked it open today and will leave to fully harden over the weekend. It's pretty shit I didn't do it very well I don't think. Happy enough with it for my first time ever bedding something though will rough it up a bit and fill in with some more compound and give it another go at some stage and hopefully it'll come out better.

Not enough compound.

Holy shit fuck Tobes. You could have ripped that lump lengthwise and had two stocks! Now you'll have to gather all the dust and filings and mix it with epoxy to make a composite one!

Probably should have aye, taking ages to shave it down with the bloody rasp

Flap disk on grinder?

Do you want that planer!

I'm sticking to me guns lack of I should say haha I've kinda stalled on it atm as I will wait until I get a new recoil pad and make the butt to fit it. I might try rough up the bedding around the low spots and redo it

Re-do the whole bedding at once Toby, don't just do the low bits. Just give the existing bedding a light sand/grind and do it again.

Sweet thanks, will do that

Been a bit slack with updates, mainly because I've done fuck all on it until today


LOTS of rasping

Took it with me this morning and cut the shape out on the band saw, have a feeling I've made the grip too thin

I brought a recoil pad marked around it in vivid and am working to the outside of the line, hopes are I can sand out all the roughness in a vivid line thickness later to bring it to the right size


I gave this bit a quick sand up since I'll be cutting it all out anyway and oiled it once cause the wood looked nice. Can't wait to see it finished but it should look nice, and be darker as I will give it more then one coat. Pics dont do the wood justice it looks better in person, except for those holes at the end. Stupid borer or something right?

You gotta show me that when I am there Toby. Legend"

He's sending the rifle to me to sight in Rushy!

Was raining this morning so thought I'd better stay home and do a bit of work on the stock. Will be getting me a checkering set soon toon so can start getting acceptable before I finish the stock. I have a pattern in my head thats simple and should be pleasing to MY eye Same as the one on my 8mm





Still looks funny atm but it should look better once I start thinning it down around the action. For now I'll leave it fat so I have something to hold in the vice


Inletting is rough as guts I better not show the bottom




I'm wondering if I want to keep going atm or try find where I can buy a grip cap from. Then it gives me a shape to follow as well as look nice
