    Lockdown light weight carbon wrap stock build - Here we go

    Ok, so I hunt with a Carl Gustav 1900 action (Husky 8000) but a mate lost the bottom metal when he was doing a repair for me... so its a single shot... amazing accuracy with the 147 eldm and 130 berger hunting vld's. it has a trueflite barrel and is chambered in 6.5/06 Ai. I had it cut down to 18"... yes I know im wasting powder... but I have another one with a 28" barrel for long range hunting. So with lockdown dragging on I decided to give it a birthday and build a new stock... super light weight (Paulownia Timber) and then wrap it with carbon fibre... how will it turn out you ask? me too lol. I have made another stock from this stuff for my grendel... thats a Zastava M85 and suppressed and scoped its lighter than a bare Tikka T3. I plan to carbon wrap that too as the Paulownia is pretty soft... havent got round to it as the grendel is so nice to carry and does the damage on deer and pigs.
    So I made a start today and will add pics as the project goes. Ill also be restoring the stunning walnut custom stock and selling that off if anyone needs a stock for a Husky 800, Gustav 1900, Zoli 1900. Ill take a pic of the grendel and post that too.
    First time posting other than for selling stuff so I may be a bit slow in posting pics but I'll try get some up each night. Got loads of other things to do and fours kids going lockdown crazy so itl take a few days lol.
    I hope someone get some lockdown joy out of this.
    Oh and Im going to fit a tikka bottom metal and mag to it as a solution for the single shot issue.

    Pics out of order sorry. So lockdown restrictions called for some saltless playdough and a couple part epoxy syringes, one a scrounged from a mates letterbox. grated in some charcoal with a bit of sand paper and bedded the action. I did this befor drilling any hoples as I dont like loosing resin out the bottom and its a limited resource at present lol

    Great help from my daughter making playdough for the wells in the stock at the trigger and saftey ports. I rubbed the action down with shoe nugget to ensure it breaks clean tomorrow... never forget that step... dont ask me how I know lol. also never use the kids playdough... rifles dont like salty playdough... you also dont want to know how I know that.
    so tomorrow will be some more shaping on the bandsaw and the bench (floor) mounted sander. I wanted to bed the top so once I cut/drilled the magwell I have a fixed point for the action so I can get the tikka mag housing to line up easier for bedding... I hope

    Cracked out great, mostly happy with it given the limited resources. a small part under the rear that didnt fill, Ill ad that pic next. Ill be leaving it tho as its only cosmetic. Wheres Nathan Fosters bedding compound when you need it lol.

    Ive left the cheek area high at this point and will mount a scope and lower it to suit the correct eye alignment as I go. It will finish a fair bit lower than this
