Yup! I figured you had mighty long arms!

Certainly not me with the long arms, but no angle is called out. A longer LOP could make it a more acute angle.

I like this stock making threads and trying to figure what I'm going to use.
Is it ok if I cheat a little on some of this and use the cnc mill at work I run?

I'd say have at it! Some guys think using routers and jigs is "cheating". I am humbled by those that only use hand tools to make stocks. That takes skills and patience that I don't have. I used the tools and experience I had to do mine. If you can program and run a CNC machine, more power to you! Henry Ford would be proud!

Thanks for sharring your skills like you have.

Henry Ford came up with the "assembly line" idea. A big step in modernizing production. CNC machines are another big leap forward in production. I'm a dinosaur and couldn't begin to program one. My hat's off to those that can.
