Buckle up! We're going a little into the woodworking weeds on this one! A good customer brought us a pair of 90% finished Fancy Turkish walnut stock blanks to install on a pair of his Remington 700s. The rifles featured dull, factory stocks that didn't quite match the engraving so he opted to jazz 'em up a little.
Tom first inlet the stock to fit the action. With the action fit, he bed & floated the channel, which is something we do to improve accuracy. He then shaped the entire stock to give it a slimmer profile, as well as to make sure it was balanced.
To make the stock one-of-a-kind, he reshaped the forend tip into the traditional 700 BDL look and the pistol grip to the customer specs. He then carved out a French-style cheekpiece with a shadowline cut. Since the client did not want checkering, he took the wood down to an 800 finish. Chris finished the project up by installing a 1" Pachmayr decelerator and giving it a final hand-rubbed oil finish.
And now that alllllll that handiwork is complete, Tom gets to start on the second one. 😁
