Thread: Walnut Stock Build

Well I can finally close out this thread - I think I'm done. Stock is checkered (I don't think it came out too bad for a first effort), rifle is assembled and sighted in. A few photos for your interest:













I'm not the best photographer, but the close-up photos are closer to the real stock colour than the full length ones.

This has certainly been a long drawn out project, but mostly enjoyable. Special thanks to @ariki for the sling swivels and @rambo-6mmrem for the rust-bluing solution; I put it to good use when I unexpectedly had to make a replacement sling swivel base. Factory original on the right and homemade copy (with deliberately different top radius) on the left.
