digit Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just a few pics of an adjustable stock I made, using some aluminium flat and round bar and some stainless steel screws. Here are the material i used, the red pieces of plastic are from an old bucket I had lying around. This is it fitted to my Tikka 22-250. The ripples you can see on the aluminium is the reflection of a roller shutter door, I've only just noticed And this is it extended to 5", I put 2 stainless steel grub screws on the other side of the stock to lock it in place.

FatherandSon Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 This is great, how did you profile the aluminium to match the profile of the butt? CNC, by hand or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonicdmb Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know the problem well I tend to think can I make that before do I buy that. I do like the result very handy for add on NV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I am impressed. I have made an adjustable comb mechanism, just to see whether I could, but the finish was not up to your standards. That is very nicely designed and made.

malkiserow Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Very good indeed. How did you secure the rods to the end plate? I guess a counterbore with flat head, allen drive bolts might work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayash Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 DSCF1168.JPG DSCF1166.JPG The heaps of praise for this is justified, i used to work with some engineering pattern makers and they would be impressed.. :-) It's amazing if your willing to spend some time with ally what you can achieve and the polishing looks good too.. I've been toying with something like this for my foster boy as he's so small for his age but you know the second i cut the stock down he'll have a growth spurt.. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
