Thread: Ruger 300 WSM walnut stock.

Am almost finished oiling the lam kauri saum stock , will post pics of it finished soon , In the mean time have made a start on this.

Cool, the hard part is done now so you should have it finished in no time. Looks good so far by the way

Freddy, that's a sweet little XY table for the drill press.

Is it a standard toolshed item ? How long ago did you get it ?

Thanks KJ . Have cut profile and almost finished inletting bottom now, just have to deal with angly ruger lug screw. Next up is pillars and bedding ,then can start on shaping.

Good bit of kit that table for $99.Got it when I started the saum. Had a bit of tweaking to do and it dont have a lot of travel but its doing the job. The press is a piece of shit . Has a way lot of play in the updown shaft but I think I can make a split collar to fit around it and fasten to the body of the thing.

Seems alot better then using a router

Looking forward to seeing this one, gonna checker it?

Cheers Toby. Would be a lot better with a few more rpms. Will look at upping the pully ratios a bit. Still using router and dremel etc for some bits. Decided to not checker the laminated stock but will do this one, Will nead to practise on something first.

tx Freddy, do you use end mills, drill bits or router bits for the parts where you are not going right thru ?

Using router bits at the mo ebf. Using reasonably large dia to try and achieve max blade speed but may cut better and cleaner with 4 blade mill bits , never used them before.

Have been a bit busy but have managed to get grip cap glued on, fitted pillars bedded action and bottom bits. Started shaping today. Will post pics soon. Cheers all.

A bit of progress today.

Done that once or twice, looking bloody good

Thanks Bryan and tuiman2. Will maybe get the fore end sorted this week but need to go up the bush for a couple of nights for a look and listen.

Todays effort. Had a rethink on the cap and decided to go with black to match butpad. Sanded one side with 180 grit.
