Thread: A Lee Speed stock

Time now to do the forend tip so a piece of buffalo horn had the face trued up on the grinder belt and cut to length



This piece is barely big enough but with very careful measuring it will fit but will leave no room for corrections later. Cleaning up the top face gets it ready for the dowels.



I use a marking guage to set the lines with the horn tip to sit about 10 though higher for later cleaning up to mate the stock top line. Careful measurement with square and calipers has all positions transfered to both surfaces and then drilled in both the stock and tip with the channel taped so any overspill of epoxy is easily wiped off.



With slow cure epoxy mixed with a bit of black dye (concrete dye powder) and it is all clamped together with overspill wiped off it will sit now till after the weekend till I can get back to it.
