Elwood Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 How to and what sort of equipment is needed, easy or difficult? No I'm not about to start sawing one of my stocks with my junior hacksaw, I'm just in a inquisitive mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 good question Ian i would imagine a different approach for both composite and wood stocks is used, due to a void in composite stocks (if they can be done at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 As spud said, the inside of a composite stock is often of a lighter sandwich material. Once cut out one can trimm the fill back and re-glass with epoxy. Then straighten the cut line line, maybe cast off a straight surface (cheek piece). I would bed the stock from the straightened cheek piece. Once that all fits one can look at fitting the mechanics. A bit of work. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm not about to start sawing one of my stocks with my junior hacksaw, I'm just in a inquisitive mood Interesting topic Ian, I was contemplating do the exact same thing to a Mac a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to the respondses. Edi, is this the type of work you would undertake? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 The stock in question is laminate, rest assured there is no way what so ever that I'm doing this myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Steve, not really, it is not too complicated just time consuming and I don't have any cheek raiser mechanics yet. at the moment we are sketching our design for the mechanics of a cheek raiser which should go into our new tac stock. Once I have the bits I'll try a fitting one to a hunting stock. It is easier to work with composites as one can repair little mistakes. With wood it is a different story. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Elwood, I'm just about to do this on a laminate stock blank for my new F/TR rifle - except the 'cheek-piece' will be on the underside - to act as a butt raiser - rather than having an adjustable bi-pod (super-light!). I thought I might just buy a brand-new saw and take it real slow! What can go wrong??? A band-saw would be the real answer but I don't have one.
