Stock Duplication

I'm able to deal with the obvious flaw, lol. Once though on my first attempt at cutting threads on a metal lathe, I cut left handed threads. That needed some rework!

Could you do a right-hand action on a left hand stock ?

I can duplicate any configuration. It's easiest to start with an existing stock as a pattern. In my case I converted a short action to an XM action on my pattern stock, widened the barrel channel, and added some bondo here and there to adjust the comb, etc., so it took some extra work.

Looks great on the outside. How close is the fit on the inside around the magazine box and the bottom metal? that's the area that I've had issues in the past. I have a fiddle back Sicimore blank that I want cut for a Mauser. The last stock I had cut Richard's did it and was sub par, I've been looking for someone who is still in the business. Thanks for the information.

My dad was a stock maker , his patterns were undersized in the action and barrel channel , that has to be hand lnletted . I have inletted quite a few and that is what makes or break a custom stock , no matter how beautiful the wood . I have a friend that sends his wood blanks off to a guy in California I will try and get that info and post it later.

Hard rock, thanks for the information. I'll check them out. With all the smiths using some kind of composite stocks today most of the great craftsmen are gone.

My dad was a real craftsman , he started out making stocks entirely by hand with a wood rasp and also hand checkered . His hand checkering was flawless , he did what you call no bordering checkering , the broader is used to hide runouts ,he had no runouts , he was a true master stockmaker . The guy I referred you to and I've seen is work is pretty darn good in comparison and has some nice Mauser patterns etc.
