Thread: Old Remington BDL stock dimension

Hey team, I’m about to start building the stock for my custom .358 Winchester. I always do up a full scale drawing before any cutting takes place, and because of the recoil of this beast I’m going to add a bit of volume to the forend shape.

I’ve always liked the old Remington 700 BDL (wood blued with ebony tip style) forend cross sectional shape, but don’t have access to one. If there’s anyone out there with one, would you mind measuring the stock width and depth at the point that the ebony tip joins the walnut? With verniers if you have them? And then the distance those measurements were taken from the from face of the action. Would be much appreciated!

Think I’ve got one stashed in the shed. I’ll get a measure tomorrow

Thanks @stug you’re a legend!

22.5cm from centre of front action screw to start of fore-end ebony tip. Stock is 36.03mm wide at widest point at ebony tip. 32.31mm wide at outside edge of barrel channel at ebony tip. 19.94mm barrel channel inside diameter at ebony.
27.3cm from centre front action screw to end of fore-end.

Thanks @stug that’s awesome. Any chance of getting the depth at the ebony join?

29.75mm
