ejg223 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 A rush job before the trip to New Mexico. Customer dropped off a Savage barrelled action and wanted an E-Tac on it. We only had a few weeks. Plan was not to use a bedding block and we could therefore make a stock the way I always wanted. Main emphasis was to make an ultra torsion stiff layup between action area and bipod area. We could make an incredibly stiff connection by choosing the right fibre orientation. Material choice in the inlet area while laying up the stock was already made with higher thermal conductive materials as was the bedding. In both cases we tried to get the thermal expansion of the composite as close as possible to steel. Fitted a 4 way recoil pad from Mik, which is excellent quality and only around 470gram (if I remember right). Trigger guard from GBR. Stock weighs 1569gram if I remember right which is about 1100 without the 4 way recoil pad. Colour is of a Subaru WRX. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
