FX Wildcat Stock with DIY Duplicator Pt.3 - Time Lapse Video

[MarkNagel]

Anyone following my progress this is project, this is the first Walnut stock I did for my FX Wildcat using the Duplicator I made last month. Its a cheap piece of walnut, but turned out nice. I have three more walnut blanks I will do next, progressively getting better. This stock took about 1:30 - 1:45 to do. I have it sitting in the vice now glass bedding the action. Tomorrow I will start sanding it and hopefully have this one finished by Christmas. Part 4. should be the final post with the hand rubbed oil finish.

Mark, that's awesome!

I'd love to see you do a laminate version.

Here's a place that sells blanks.

That looks terrific! Looks like pretty good figured walnut to me.

 

[MarkNagel]

Matt, thanks. I may try a laminate. 



Raptor. I have a dark English walnut crotch piece that will most likely be the one I keep. The blank cost $300, so I'm practicing on the cheaper blanks.

Wow, that duplicator is awesome. What I'm seeing though is if I send you some wood and something to cut out then the only thing missing is some $$$$.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings to have a couple different really cool Red Wolf stocks laying around just because.

I like this piece

[Yandeltx]

Looks amazing!!

 

[MarkNagel]

smitty, you send that piece and you may never see it again

 

[NMshooter]

That turned out awesome!

You can make some nice stocks with that duplicator. If you want to make any changes to the stock, you can modify the prototype and then copy the modified stock. I am left handed and turned a righty stock to a lefty. Lots of work but fun! I made this one last summer on my Gemini duplicator

Mark, excellent work all the way around !! 

 

[Mike_Lenardon]

UNBELIEVABLE,,,,,,, that is truly amazing. WOW

Great work. Really fun to watch a project come together. What did you use for the slide rods on your duplicator and where did you buy them? Careful, or with the amount of people wanting custom stocks in the airgun community your hobby could turn into a JOB! Thanks. Sylvan

I bought most of the parts locally. Some on ebay, amazon, online, but I have a large steel company near me that has everything. For all the steel, rollers, gears, paint, misc. parts I only have about $450-$500 into it. I had the router already. My buddy made the stylus tips for me on his 3d printer. To put in perspective, a Gemini cost around $5200.



I have two FX Wildcats, one composite and one walnut. I plan on making 4 stocks for them and keep the best two and composite. So when I'm finished, I'll list/trade the factory walnut stock and two I made, but that won't be for a while.

I think your set-up may be even better than the Gemini. I like the slides.

Very, very impressive!
