Ricko Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Having finally tracked down a stock that is close to the one needed for my Zabala project. I have stripped the action down and am going to proceed in lining up the top strap(tang)with the main pin and chiselling the stock to fit before repeating to get the bottom tang to fit. This seems to be the logical starting point before making further adjustments to allow the rest of the action and safety to fit. Anybody got any experience in this??

utectok Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Nope but I've been reliably informed it has to be a super good fit !!!! No more then 1/4mm play!! Good luck it'll be a tester! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 The reason that I am hopeful is that there is only wood that needs to be carved away to make it fit. I have rounded up my small Marples chisels and will get them sharpened properly before I start. A friend has already calibrated my callipers.

cant hit rabbits 123 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Sounds like a goos project! Hope it all goes well. Fixing your own gun is rather satisfying, I made my own hammer after something nasty happened to the original in my mossberg. Great fun. Do post some pics!
