Who'd like to see these stocks on the market?

You might try sub-floor adhesive. The stuff I used to sell was top notch, just can't recall the name. Had some unreal holding power though, and was fairly cheap, especially compared to stuff like titebond.

Just thought I would leave this here. Would make fabricating parts as easy as hitting Ctrl+P. I may pick one up once they become available and hopefully get it in an 8x35" size. That way I would print out just about any kind of stock you can imagine. Would just need *someone* to autocad/sketchup the stock design.

lol Savage, you got a computer to send along so I can? haha. That's the only reason I don't have it on my computer, is my computer won't be able to handle the memory.

 

[savage1r]

Wonder if I can scam an old laptop from work that is being "retired". Lemme check.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

LOL okay haha. My step-dad does that too with equipment, such as keyboards and laser mice. For some reason, his work likes tossing perfectly good computer equipment... Never understood why.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Okay, so something strange happened today.

In an unsual show of being nice, my step-dad said I can use some of his tools to work on these stocks.

So, I'm going to draw out the outlines tomorrow, and hopefully get them cut out and glued. I'll let them sit for a week so the glue can cure and what have you. I'll take pictures and do a video, as well.

 

[Chris-bob]

Hope it goes well. I really like that second stock you have showing.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Thank you, and thank you, Chris-bob. They'll be built in due time.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Okay, so I just got some work done, not as much as I'd like though. Batteries died in the jig saw.

I'm not too happy with the quality of the wood though, it's almost as if they hid the defects in the middle of the board. I'm still going to continue though, for R/D sake. I'll even test the stock under fire as well. Here are the pictures I took today:









And here's the link to the video:

Will be doing more tomorrow.

 

[LoonWulf]

WOOOHOOO, looks good so far

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Lol thank you. Did you happen to watch the video, too? Right now that's about all the good they're doing, is looking good lol. The wood seems low quality, more like crap. But I'll continue on, and decide whether or not I wasted my time at testing.

 

[savage1r]

Excellent

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Batteries charged faster than I thought they would, so I decided to move on through the process to make Part II of Project SV-98.

The only problem I'm seeing is the same as above, some porosity in the wood (voids) that aren't good. But, I'm still going to keep the process moving, hopefully it will all work out okay as far as recoil goes.

The stock turned out to be about 2.5" thick, without being clamped. That's part three, where it will be glued and clamped (tomorrow).

Here's the pictures:

Great vids.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Thank you!

 

[Gunnerboy]

ive been wondering is the mag gonna be hidden inbetween the wood ? just curious why you left where the mag is on the blank instead of just cutting it off

 

[LoonWulf]

Im stuck on my phone for a bit. Ill check the vids later on my computer. Push come to shove you can use bondo to fill the gaps in nonstrenght critical areas, and just make sure you get a good amount of bedding material under the action. If you get your bedding block to work that would help spread some of the pressure. Other wise id use pillars a a really thick layer of marine tex.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

I'm debating that. I'll try hiding the magazine first, and if that don't work, I'll just gut that much off.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

I got the pieces glued together and clamped. I had an oops and used too much glue, but now I know. I'll use less next time. Had no real problems, but due to the excess amount of glue, I'll have to so some unnecessary shaping. Oh well, you live, you learn. Trial and error.

I'm going to let the stock sit clamped under pressure for a week before I take pressure off of it. We'll see what happens then.

[Gunnerboy]

you should put some of those pins thru the stock like that on the laminated ak and mosin stocks to help make it solid like a rock

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

I probably will. I don't have any, though. Maybe with some xmas money! lol

 

[LoonWulf]

Vids look good, stocks look good as well. Push come to shove, next round we can try come up with the cost of a decent blank.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

An actual blank would probably be a better path. But we'll see how this turns out.

 

[LoonWulf]

yep, if nothing else it will be good practice.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Exactly
