Thread: Jw15 modifications

I was planning on making a new stock for this and had some rimu laying around (part of a door frame), there is a lot of this around the place in chch at the moment, anyway the plan was to glue two pieces together to get the required thickness and partially inlet them before I glued them. I cut out the rough shape I wanted and decided to have a practice run at in-letting with the bits I cut off, this was mostly successful so I collected up the other scraps I had laying around to make a stock. All of the joins have a couple of layers of glass in them to try and keep the rimu from splitting, there are a lot of joins as I didnt have any decent sized bits of wood. Unfortunately the first go at bedding the action failed so I had to split the top off the stock to get the action out and then soak it in acetone. Then some how I miss measured and the pistol grip ended up 20mm too far forward for the trigger. A new trigger was much quicker to make than mucking around with wood, although the stock is too long now..... still a work in progress
