Indians For Guns

Hi Guys,
Its a long Time project for me to make a custom stock for my pcp rifle and some days ago i went to pick up a suitable blank from a wood store and picked a 6"x2"x30" wood blank . removed the action and traced the profile and i want to have theoben mfr style stock so made some modification on my over sketch and gave it to a profile cutter then gave the profile to a 70yr old carpenter and made the needed modelling in just 2 hrs now the proto type just need the action inletting and sanding ..further

Hey Briha,

if the stock shown belong to my friend in chennai& right hand stock , then the wood is african teak and i made the wood selection and initial profiling for him

Striker, any reason you didn't inlet the stock first, before carving?

Nice question hamiclar, being a novice my first learning in stock making is better to inlet the action then start the carving but i started the carving first and now i have some trouble in inletting the stock !

Thanks
