more pics of my homemade NEF stock
« on: October 07, 2007, 04:00:15 PM »
Pretty much have it completed now. I might give it one more coat... Purchases a recoil pad that I like better than what i installed maybe one other minor detail.

The forearm is bedded and I have clearance between it and the frame. Took it out and it looks like it wants to shoot some cheap factory 55 gr Ulramax ammo in about a 1" group at 150 yards.... It seemed like there was some pressure though?? The barrel wanted to open just a tad bit hard but it ejected the empties just fine??? I'll look into that when I get more time... It really sets in the bag real nice...











Over all it has been a real neat learning experience... If I can do this with the basic wood working tools and very little knowledge or skill it is hard to say what the rest of you can do... For now I am happy with this 8.00 plank of native walnut I picked up at the local lumber store....

Now to determine where to put a sling stud in the forearm to accommodate a Harris bi-pod??? It is going to look funny right next to the frame>>>

thanks for all the kind words.... I like to mess with wood and making stocks but lack of tools and knowledge (and time!) keeps me from doing much of it.

I forgot to tell ya that I also made another forearm made from the same piece of wood that is shorter, narrower and not as deep for my light weight 22 Hornet barrel that has been fitted and just needs to be sanded down and oiled... It is squared off just like this bigger one but I am toying with the ideal to make it have a snable look????

I always wanted to build a nice youth riffle to be handed down to my kids and grand kids... I have 6 kids, oldest in college and the youngest in preschool.... At the pace I have been going it should be done just in time for great great GKs  ;D

While the style isn't my cup of tea, the wood and workmanship are fantastic.  Very nicely done.
God, Family, and guns, in that order!
