I've been searching for several months... haven't found any 'do it your self references'
Has anyone taken a Remington 700'ish ADL or Single Shot Walnut stock and converted it to BDL floor plate? By drilling, chiseling, rasping, filing, ect, ect to cut and recess the bottom plate?
I'm wanting to put my 700P into a walnut stock, didn't see many options in the 'walnut' category, picked up an unfinished 40xb stock for $50, it is a drop in for a 700, as single shot. Which is what many of the old ' Rangemasters ' were.
This is a similar photo to where I'm starting off; I'm waiting on a cut of black walnut to arrive to make an inlay were the forward hand-stop rail originally belonged. Starting by filling in the front, then opening up the bottom for the BDL floor plate. May do pillars and bedding as well? I've never done anything like this, received a wealth of knowledge from my usual gunsmith who didn't want this unusual project.
