Thread: Same Woman - different dress

Hi

My Weatherby looked like arse in its POS plastic stock, so I decided to make a stock for it today.

I've basically finished it, but I want to turn down the barrel as its way too heavy and this is the only way I can realistically drop any weight. I'll cut it down to 16'' while I'm at it which should take off about 1.5-2.5lb as the current contour is a heavy bull barrel.

I fitted a Remington (BDL long action) trigger guard, as the Weatherby one is very ugly and square. The Remington one works with a modyfied weathery box inside. The long action Remington hole spacing is the same as the Weatherby's medium action which was a bonus too. The spring and hinge even work which is very cool.

I'll finish the stock once I have the barrel contour turned down, then I'll bed it and oil it. Anyway here are some pics:







Note: the barrel channel on this stock has been routered to suit the smaller contour I'll be going with, so at this point in time the bull barrel wont sit in the channel.
