[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 330513, member: 7449"] Well after almost four years I finally whipped up some resin and got a stock done. I took a small collection of pics to kinda illustrate the processes involved for how I do stock work. Many have asked over the last year or so and I promised someone at some point that I'd show it, so I'm making good on it. Enjoy. Chad Set up: Telling the machine where the origin points are and getting the stock blank straight with the machine. Please excuse the barely visible explative language written on the one vice jaw in sharpie marker. I snapped a photo on my phone and sent it to an old buddy and I wanted him to feel right at home with my picture. (we verbally abuse one another at every opportunity) [IMG]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u64/nesikachad/DSC_0075-1.jpg[/IMG] Primary inlet: Getting material out of the way so the action has someplace to sit. Shown is the barrel channel being machined. [IMG]http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u64/nesikachad/DSC_0084.jpg[/IMG] Checking the fit: The barreled action now sits in the stock. Everything is pointing in the right direction and at the appropriate height. The stock now comes out of the machine and moves into bedding prep stage. In this photo the action is actually sitting slightly above show line. This is because I had not yet removed the bolt stop on the receiver. Once removed the action sits half in/out of the stock.
