[QUOTE="chalkeye, post: 1146519, member: 88093"] I'm not sure about machine time I'm afraid - I would guess around 2 hours per side, but it depends a lot on the feeds & speeds he was using. I think there were concerns about the timber chipping out so that might have forced him to feed slower. The glue up is pretty straightforward - can seal the inside and glue the halves in an afternoon. Finishing the inletting takes a bit longer, but should be adjustable for larger clearance on the CAD for next time which will reduce this. I'll look into the foam - the hollowness isn't as much of an issue on the P2 prototype. I'm loathe to introduce any more weight than necessary but it might be worth it. I am using flush cup swivels for the P2 so should be much stronger. I'd quite like to install them on the side of the stock too, but need to experiment with the placement. [/QUOTE]
