Do it yourself Stock making thread

That one will finish really nice and be around for a long time. Definitely has some age to it..

Yep. A friend and I split several blanks out of Winslow Arms before they closed shop. I still have a Black Myrtle blank I doubt I’ll use. But might.

The shotgun blanks that were still there were phenomenal… a lot of AAA and AAAA. All of them more oversized than what’s on the market nowadays.

Finished insetting the trigger guard. Tidy the edges in the future

Just a little more sanding, to get the transition.

Coming nicely, looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. Thanks for sharing.

So, my goal was a single shot. Cudos to a friend of mine for milling the follower for me yesterday. LA Remington from PT&G. Looks much better than my initial idea, feeds slicker than snot on a frost covered dock…

Getting closer…

Looking very good!

 

[ChristianSilver]

Yes sir, looking very good. Can’t wait to see the finished project.

A little figure turned up

Other than fine tuning the recoil pad fit, when I get a new belt, I’m calling it done enough to shoot.

Bravo, excellent craftsmanship. Looks great!

Forgot I had this blank… 20 years ago, when I got it, the humidity here caused a couple cracks. One corner looked like it took a hit during shipping. I put it in the corner of the closet and forgot about it, figuring I’d come up with something. Knife handles or pistol grips being the most likely.

Well, that XP 100 thread got me thinking…

Watching this one. I bought a Savage Stryker and the new Dasher barrel is too fat to fit the factory stock, so…
It will be my first pistol stock.
