Dunkield Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I have toyed with the idea of making a stock for a shotgun from scratch, I reckon the hardest part would be mating it accurately to the action. With a rifle stock getting the inletting accurately cut out would be the tricky part without access to a CNC milling machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentKill Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 surely you could route the channel out fairly easily on a router table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finny Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 it's not to bad doing it with a router if you have the cutters it's all the setting up time thats the problem think my cz stock took about 4 hours to do the inlettingif anyone gets any laminate blanks inlet or not put me down for one please personal for me it the sanding and finishing of a stock thats the most time consuming takes me as long to sand it as all the inletting and shaping put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I guess a router is an option, but I would imagine the method would depend on how many you were doing. One of Richards long lead time excuses was getting enough CZ orders together to do a run of them, so I would imagine they use CNC or a copy jig of some sort?

The longest part would be getting the first one right! And then as you say doing a run of them to fit a particular action. Once you have a template and the blanks most peole could finish the rest them selves. The mind boggles.... Will see what my new 455 cz hmr thumbhole is like when it turns up in a week or two.
