Do it yourself Stock making thread

[P3S]

I added a wooden butt plate after shaping it, I cut out the bolt recess then started sanding

 

[P3S]

After sanding, I applied true oil then sprayed the stock with Spray Max 2K clear glamour.

This how it turned out. Not perfect but sure does tract well.

You may have just answers a question I've had for a long time.... Do you see any issue using the 2k clear over oil? I would assume if the oil is fully cured it wont be a problem... but I don't want to ruin anything.

Ok- I didn’t make this one-

Just sanded it down
Inlet for barrel
Bedded action
Used Bat action screws
Recut checkering
Refinish it w/Indian oil
Hand polished it

Not as refined as some of the wood on here, but I wanted a Monte Carlo cheekpiece for the wildcat Marlin I built.

I thought I had more "in progress" photos but I guess not.

What's the wildcat?

AWSOME work-!!!!

Thank you

What's the wildcat?

Not to derail the thread, but I'm calling it the 38-56 Improved. It's a 45-70 case blown straight and necked to .375. I'm getting just shy of 2300fps with a 275gr mono.

Thought I’d pass this on.

I needed to open up a barrel channel today. Got to thinking about the bucket of barrel cut offs I have, and thought why not. I misplaced (lost outright) my bedding tool a few years ago.

Measured the barrel I needed to open up for, and rooted around the bucket until I found a couple the right diameter. Wrapped sandpaper around the cut off and sanded until it was right. Works pretty well with smooth strokes. A 2-2.5” piece of barrel works pretty well. Just fold the sandpaper over at the right length and then tear and wrap.

Now if I can just find some action screws…

What action? I might have some Remingtons and Tikkas.

Appreciate the offer.

I found some in my bits and pieces drawer.
