    I hope I inspired you Toby. Good onya for having a crack.
    Swedish Mauser 6.5 x 55. 1941 Husqvarna M38. DIY Re-build for a more modern look. - YouTube.
    I take it you have seen this?

    Didnt you use a chainsaw...lol

    A tip: If you're putting a scope on which you probably will, raise the check rest as you will have better line of sight through your scope, most rifles don't have a raised check piece to suit the scope or to suit the shooter. Some rifles come with open sights and putting a scope on changes the hight of your sight by an inch or two. See mine for an idea.

    If the knot is a dead knot in the butt (if you know what I mean) depending how loose it is might have to be glued in or once you seal the stock that should keep it in. Hopefully.

    I ended up sealing mine with a two pot mix (Uracryl 404 +hardner), to protect it from the weather etc.

    If you have any question about how I did mine, feel free to ask.

    Looking good by the way!!

    Cheers.

    Just noticed I wont get the router underneath to inlet the trigger gaurd/floor plate. Theres a mill at the old mans work I can use though I only saw drill bits in it. If I cut the bottom off a drill bit would it fine to use?

    Thanks or the tips KC

    Take your time with it now as you don't want to fuk it up at the last minute.
    Are you going to add checkering?

    Did mine using a mill attachment ($100) I got for my drillpress . Also consider buying a dremel . Got mine quite late in the project and wish I got it sooner. You can do your own dentistry with it later.

    Toby should buy an end mill and run on hi speed, you'll get the I letting for the trigger etc with that, there are different configurations, you'll need a fourlade cutter with end blades as well, you cannot use some tpyes as a drill, as they don't cut in the centre? Good looking workmanship

    here's an update pic of this mornings work, also like to add I never used a router duplicator or anything so if it looks bung its cause I used a rasp to shape it and eye leveled everything.

    Here's the main tools also used a belt sander a couple of times and the router to do the inletting thats been done

    I glued on the grip cap so it can be shaved down with the rest of the grip from here. Will also add a blued screw in the center
