[QUOTE="freddogs, post: 1604554, member: 23463"] I've stocked a few mausers that I had rebarreled. It's plenty of work. I once made a stock for a Nagant rifle from a blank. It is very time consuming. I used the military stock as a reference. I cut the barrel channel with a router and used a drill, router, and chisels to relieve the action area. It was a lot of work. The first rifle I did I checkered the grips. I found out that hand checkering is extremely time consuming and takes a bit of skill & practice. I wasn't happy with my results and never checkered any more stocks. I have a couple barrel channel scrappers that are really handy. I think I got mine from Brownell. Get them smaller than your barrel. I still have a mauser stock in the garage that I plan to finish this summer. Even semi-inletted there is plenty of work. [/QUOTE]
