Thread: Walnut stock build (done the traditional way)

Bit more progress this weekend.

Action and barrel now inletted down to the right depth. Happy with the fit, could be slightly tighter but pretty good.




Pillars made up ready to fit, and made the effort to ‘time’ the action screws, because it’s the small things that matter.



Once the pillars are glued in up against the action, just a simple matter of fine tuning the bottom metal inlet to match the pillars, and this part is done. Shaping next, the fun part!

Wowee mate- I've always wondered about lining up the screw slots!

It’s worth doing, as it makes the rifle just so much more accurate…. Yeah right! Haha

Makes absolutely no difference to how the thing works, but keeps my OCD under control

Pillars installed, and bottom metal now inletted to match.

Ready to hit the bandsaw

Great stuff, I can handle the metallic parts no problem but me and wood just don't get on.

Sneak peek for those interested. Shaping up nicely

I need to stop looking at this thread =wood drool.

Shaping is now completed, and on to finish sanding ready for the first coat of oil.

Really happy with how it shaped up. These little actions make for a very slim light little rifle. Hopefully the photo of it next to the original plastic stock show the difference.

Looking great

Minty!

coming on nice

wow you would need to know exactly what you need to achieve with shape, contours and size as once it's removed there's no going back, great looking piece of timber.

you sir are one talented bugger!!

that is going to be a thing of beauty once oiled up.......very talented indeed.

Thanks guys. It easy when you really enjoy the process of building them.
