[QUOTE="akallus, post: 419114, member: 23215"] thanks it was pretty easy to build only took a couple of hours from start to finish. i orded my kydex off of ebay it was like 12 dollars with shipping and was a 3/16 sheet 12x12 next i made a templet out of computer photo paper becouse its thicker than regular paper. i drew everything out the way i wanted it then cut it out and put it on my stock to see if i liked the fit. which i did. next i transfered the templet to the kydex sheet. then cut out the sheet using a 4 inch grinder with a cuttoff disk on it and for the sloted holes i drilled the top and bottom with each with a quarter inch drill bit then used a dremill to cut between them. i then made a form to mold the kydex on out of 1 1/2 wooden dowel rod nailed to a 2x6 covered in wax paper. next i preheated my house hold oven to 275 to 295 i placed the kydex on a sheet of wax paper then those on a flat cookie sheet. and let bake for about 15 min. (till fairly flexible. after the baking time i took it out and laid it over my form (make sure to use thick gloves or oven mits. the kydex is now about 300 degrees). and held it in place till it cooled off to where it would hold its shape. then after all is cooled i finished it off with a sander to shape the edges and smooth every thing.
