[QUOTE="logic factory, post: 671250, member: 38148"] grit: i did look at all those stock you mention again just prior to making this post. i had a couple days prior to your post made some changes to the shape that will be documented below. after seeing those stocks again im thinking i may end up placing a tapper in the fore-grip. will likely keep it thick and parallel first so that i can cut a tapper later if i think it may look a little better. i am also thinking to keep the butt straight across the top too rather than having the check weld higher. at that point this stock will have more in common with other tactical stocks than the b&c. thank you for your feedback. here is part of the post i made on another forum of the more up to date minus the aforementioned butt shape. "seeing how this is my first stock and i am not sure how i will like the more aggressive contours in the grip and less than traditional free floating in the grip. because of this, i have changed the shape of the stock to facilitate more adjustments. it makes sense to keep as much wood on the stock as possible to allow for more shaping; if desired. here is the newly proposed shape. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h251/fishforlife/bcupdate1.jpg[/IMG] i have reduced the notch behind the grip, reduced and changed the shape of the bottom hook, shortened the fore grip and made the stock straight along both top and bottom, and will have a traditional free floated look. if i still want to see the complete barrel i can do that after i have the rifle mocked up." i am meeting with my father tomorrow (8jul12) and if he was able to source the black walnut for me this passed week we may glue up the boards tomorrow as well. regardless of what progress we may or may not make tomorrow i will update the thread when something meaningful happens.
