Gordon R Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got a couple of shotguns with adjustable stocks. A mate's son is an engineer and is copying the mechanism from my Miroku, to duplicate for my GTi. Making it out of aircraft alloy and stainless steel. He said the Miroku mechanism was crude, so I am hoping for a decent job. Any tips for cutting the comb - apart from be careful - and cutting out the rebate for the mechanism out of the stock?

Guest The Outlaw Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 A good quality band saw will cut the comb ok and if you can clamp it well enough a fast router with a sharp bit will sort the rebate out. Hope all goes well. Remember better to measure 10 times and cut once than measure once and swear for ever. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done this on the Howa that I used to own Gordon. You have to be very careful because when you fix the cheek-piece onto the moving bits it must be exactly in line otherwise it all goes tits-up. G.M.

Graham M Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Looks nice. What sort of money are they asking for one of those. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I think they are about £60, but I'm on a freebie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 £23 for a scroll saw on Ebay and cut the stock after two trial runs on scrap wood. Pleased with the result. Just waiting for the mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
