New stock for the CZ223.

Hows it guys.
I really like my 527 with 9 twist but not so keen on the hog back stock,
A member on here gave me a good deal on a awesome walnut slab, so.
Have been pecking away at this for a few nights.
Almost ready for bedding and rear pillar then the shaping
Will post more picks as it progresses if anyone is interested.Attachment 225324

Nice work

Thanks mate,
Will try and do it justice for ya.

Some darn clever buggers on here well done!

Awesome handcraft

A bit of progress.
Pillars and bedding done, recoil pad on, grip cap fitted and most shaping done.

your skills are amazing..good on you for having the patience to do this properly.

Ah mate I’m super jealous of your tools!! Im doing the same thing making a walnut stock for my T-bolt, but using hand carving chisels. It’s very slow going, and very hard to keep the edges straight where the action meets the stock!

Been there done that.
Invest in a trimmer/router. Less than $100 you wont look back.
Nice piece of wood btw

Got a bit done on the weekend.
Ready for first coat oil.

No checkering?

Haha, A bit above my pay grade
I have the tools here but loused up the last one I did.
Will get someone who knowes what their doing

Amazing job, well done

Normally done once the finish is complete. Generally only the poms that checker before finishing.

Na mate, get stuck in and checker it! For the cost of getting someone to do it, you could buy about 2-3 nice new blanks. Trust me, theres a lot of labour in a good hand cut checkering job.

now there were fellas on here trying to buy checkering tools...... so you could do a horse trade..you can have my tools if you do my checkering for me...two or three maybe??

Thanks.
I probably should have another go at it.
The other stock I tried to do had remnants of previous checkering which created extra challenges.
I have here another clean (no checkering) stock that I refurbished ,wont matter too much if I stuff that up.
Plenty of scraps to practice on first.

Thanks MD.
I was considering something like that.
By the same token it would be a useful skill to learn.
Experts on utube make it look easy,
Might have another go at it. Will be a slow job.
