Kiddo had a sick day today so I got some time to work on the stocks. I glued the dowels in along with the extra wood where it needed to be. After a few hours, it was game time. I don't have a 5/8's bit yet, but I had a 15mm so lucky me, that was the width of the trigger guard inlet. With...

Thanks Fotis... I've been looking for checkering tools online for the past few days and am a little amazed that the Dem Bart's are sold out everywhere. Really don't want to spend 100 clams for a master set that I'd use maybe five times. Checkering may have to wait.

4" at 100, 2" coverage at 50... .75 is darn good. I'd say any group under 2" would be good.

That's better than some can do with 16x scope! What size of red dot is it? 1 moa, 4 moa? Either way, .75 at 50 is good.

I'd love to make one from a blank someday... Someday :) Boyd's told me I can send the stock back- for the engineers to evaluate it and either send it back to me, or send me a new stock, but cut exactly the same. Huh. Won't be giving them any more of my money. Meh... On to pillar bedding!!!!

Waiting to hear back from Boyds and couldn't let a good weekend go to waste so I cut out the dams/spacers for the stock just in case Boyds says no on the return. Emailed them yesterday some pics of the stock inletting shortfalls. Didn't get the ebony yet. After some more sanding, I think I'd...

I did 80 grainers for .380 I think- I'm just chiming in to ask/ recommend shooting a box of good .380 ammo through it before reloads. Reason is, G42's -even 2nd gen- have cycling issues with under powered rounds and limp wristing while shooting any type of ammo. Galloway makes a reduced...

Is it a gempro or my weigh?

Walnut is stripped and sanded. Looks like there is quite a bit of subtle figuring on one side and color variations running on both sides. Picking up the ebony block for the tip and grip cap tomorrow if the roads are good.

Agreed- It is weird (to me) that they'd remove all of that material just for the magazine catch tab... taking a closer look behind the pillar, the laminate is crumbling. I'd say that is a defect, no? The dowels will be drilled out when the pillars are enlarged. They are just used to center...

Yup, that's the barrel you are seeing- (muzzle pointed down). There is a little tab that the magazine snaps onto- muzzle end is up for this pic. The gap is just a little over 1/2" wide by 3/8's deep. If I lube up the magazine pretty well and tape it in place, I can probably use it as a dam...

My M70 will be getting a B&C later in the year. I did get these stocks for a project so I shouldn't be stressin over things that need some work. The walnut was stripped and discovered a lot more figure and a little hint of sapwood hiding under the coating near the barrel channel. I really...

Thanks Dr. I got the standard (cheap) walnut so I wasn't expecting much, but wasn't expecting it to come dyed either. I thought I ordered the unfinished option, which must mean dyed and no top coat. I like the natural colored look of wood so I am hoping that the oil will enhance some of the...

My winter projects arrived today- Boyd's walnut stock for the .260 Rem and a laminate in coyote for the 22-250 T/C. The walnut is pretty bland and monotone except for the comb area where there is some figure hiding under the satin finish. It's being stripped so I can pop the figure...

I've tagged the threads for reference and saw the two sizes. Thanks for the write-ups. I got the unfinished walnut for the .260 Rem and coyote laminate for the T/C 22-250. I'm thinking about attempting to do my own checkering so the bedding might be done a few months down the road. It'll...

Thanks for the info. Should be fun :)

142 gr ABLR 6.5 Creed = .050 160gr Accubond 7mm Rem Mag = .131 110gr Accubond 25-06 = .050 129gr ABLR .260 Rem = .100 ________________________ If I change my 7mm Rem Mag to be .1 (.030 deeper)- Could I drop the charge .3-.5 of a grain and still achieve the OBT? I've had this thought for while...

Did you remove any wood from the action? I'm getting my two stocks tomorrow and am getting the coarse of action together. Part of me wants to remove some material, (1/16-1/8) leave the pillars a little proud and bed the action... Did you leave the bottom pillars flush with the stock?

The parts for the regulator and fittings: http://www.supplyinnovationsllc.com/storefront/goss-go-ep-60-1-regulator-p-1350590 -These range from 120.00 down to $25... The picture of the regulator is sometimes different from the descriptions or prices on many sites, so make sure you're getting the...

You can get a goss regulator and some brass fittings to make use of the 1 lbers- expensive thing- it alone doubled the build. worth it though.
