Awesome! Looks like you based it off McMillan's A2's fore-end and the A5's butt-end/hook.
Very nice! |

great work!
how much do you charge? |
|
|
+100! I have nowhere near the talent required for something like this, but I love that style. Something like that with my MK II would be just the ticket! |

|
Wow!
Like it a lot, looks like a super good job. Keep up the good work! |
|
|
Thanks for the compliments!
As far making more for sale, that may be an option if I can do enough to buy the proper tools. I'm just trying to start my own Art/Blacksmith business, so my wood tools are limited. My specialty is metal, but I would love to do something that relates to our shooting sports community. I'll do some research and figuring and see what I might be able to do. itgoesboom---I have no MKII for reference, but I know I could do it. Thanks again, Chris |

That is extremely well done. Out of curiousity how many hours do you have into it?(lumped together as you probably didnt do it strait through) |

|
That is very nice.

This one took about a month in my spare time after work while in a regular time card punching job, but I only built it for my personal use and I had to think and improvise every step. Reproduction was not on my mind at all. If I was getting paid by the hour, I probably would have been able to buy 3 real A5's. I do know that it would be much quicker to do another one, even quicker to build several at the same time. |

Depending on price...I want one.
Sharpen your pencil......I know you could sell a few right here on ARF...... |

that looks great. Its giving me ideas right now. I was going to work on the stock my 597 came with, but starting from a fresh blank would give me exactly what I want.
GREAT JOB! |

|
Wow that looks nice!
|
|
|
Um, wow, I wish I had skill like that.
I can get the wood. I have a router. I have a table saw I have clamps I need a drill press I need a band saw I need skill. Did you just use normal wood glue? Hardwarz |

I vote for a tack on this one.

I'm curious to how much you would charge because that looks like alot of work but my god did you do a great job man. I want another .22 but i somewhat HATE the stocks of most .22s out there. Just curious, do you know what you would charge?
|
|
|
You did an outstanding job. That is an incredible stock.
|
|
|
Great job! What did you use for the but and the adjustable cheek piece? how much did they cost?
|
|
|
WOW! THat's a sharp looking stock; that would motivate me into buying a 10/22. Very nice work. TAGGED.

That's a sweet stock you built. The weight of the oak will make a great shooter from a bench.

Actually, what would be great is if you could sell the full size tracings of the top view and side view.

First let me reiterate that I'm not in the business of making stocks or woodworking at all. I just like to make things I want when I can't afford the real thing. I would be happy to provide a product that other shooters would appreciate, but it would cost me quite a bit to get set up. I crunched some numbers I would need $125 per stock if I had 10 or more to do. That would be only for 10/22 actions with bull barrels and include only the wood and fiberglass texture and hardware holes---not the cheek piece or buttplate. I would seal it with primer and let you paint it yourself. Let me tell you, that price does not include any cash profit for me. I would just be working for the tools. I know that is steep and I don't expect any orders, but thanks again for all your compliments.
That's not a bad idea actually. I'll think about that.
The cheek piece is straight off my A2 that my Savage .308 sits in. It was $109 from McMillan. The butt plate is a Morgan adj. from Brownells's $40. |

WELL DONE:

|
|
All I can say is wow. Thanks for the guide!
|
|
|
I would kill for that stock for my savage mkII lol.
|
|
|
Thats great, good work now I have to try my own.
|
|
|
That is very cool looking.

You got skills

i wanted to bump this to keep it out of the abyss. i feel it is a good tutorial for those who have the tools.
|

"Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. That's the first thing they teach you"
"Who taught you?" "I don't remember. That's the second thing they teach you." |
Start a list of people. I would gladly give you $125 to help get the tools. After the first set of ten, then you would have all of the tools and start making some money for yourself. Most businesses lose money at the beginning while they are acquring equipment. Sometimes it takes years to make a profit, but you will break even with the first round of stocks. PM me if this sounds good. I honestly think that if you charged $125 per stock you could sell a lot of them. Then maybe add the buttplate and cheekpiece as options for additional $$? |

i'd also chip in a hundred or two to help get the project going, if cwa11is was interested. i would not expect anything in return, save for the ability to purchase a few stocks. i always wanted to be a venture capitalist |

cwa11is you did a great job building your stock.
For those who are interested in building your own stock you should check out Rimfire Central. They have a stock building and finishing forum. Here is a tutorial on how to build a stock. |

Very nice. I am sure you could find quite a few customers wanting to integrate specific features of different stocks into one package. Don't let that talent go to waste!

Dam nice thread!!!! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm thinking this might be a tacky.
I have an upcoming project which probably will require a new custom stock. ETA: Can you let us know some details on what you used for the cheek rest? |
