Thanks, what kind of equipment do you run?Nice work! I'm also a cnc operator.
Easier...maybe. There is a ton of work before making a cut. It does allow for creating more complex geometry.More modern way to do it. It probably also makes the inletting much easier. That is the hardest part with more traditional tools.
I actually had already model and cut stocks for some Remingtons. I used one of those models as a starting point for my CAD model which did save a bunch of time. This action is NOT a drop in for a Remington 700 stock. Close, but that only counts in horse shoes and hand grenadesYears back ... Richards Micro Fit had a HUGE collection of profiles for the REM 700 action.
Nice to see a fabrication as a one off .. just a whole lot of work getting it there.
Will be watching this one
Thanks, at this point nearly all the machining is done.Too cool. Can we see a video of some machining ?
I will use an oil finish. I like Minwax Antique Oil. With multiple coats it builds a nice deep finish, but does not get super glossy.How do you plan to finish it?
My mind wants to flatten the hand grip to the same line as the butt. But that could be your signature. Extra props on all the gauge cut outs, you must be one of the few that can do that work. You must have been inspired.Fresh off the CNC. Cut the tooling lugs off the ends and dropped the action in. I think it is going to look pretty sharp once fitted out.

It came to function over form. Bringing the grip bottom up starts making the grip a bit to short. I made a number of 3D printed prototypes of the grip before cutting wood.My mind wants to flatten the hand grip to the same line as the butt. But that could be your signature.

Also really want an Alteros M24, unfortunately not in my budget any time soon. Also no SPA M30, or Remington Vought
Thanks!That looks great- really like the forearm....
