northeastshooter Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hmmm...I am thinking of doing a shotgun stock myself. How will you do the final shaping? B&D Powerfile?? i will use rasps iv ordered aset of riflers rasps from amazon 6.99 they havnt come yet so not no if there goin to be any good but i got lent 1 from the person who cut it out for me and done a lot with that also with the plane the hardest part so far was routing the stock for the cyclinder and triger mech it eats ya time theres about 10hrs in that so far and only half way it will take hrs longer on hard wood hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
