Your buddy should be extremely happy with such a grand stock. I know that I would be proud to use that on any of my rifles.
Great job!

Thank you..the grip was formed on the Bridgeport with the blank on its side..measured off a centerline. Slots in the forend milled while on its side. The thumb rest was carved with a gouge, and scraped fair with a custom ground scraper. Poplar can be ornery..grain awareness is important when using edge tools.

A lifetime of building custom wooden sailing yachts, and a hobby of building wooden hand planes gave me a little bit of a headstart.Fast learner.

Awesome work and talent. Did you put your initials or signature on the stock? It deserves it.

Thank you. Will be sure to document my next stock. Was a fun project, and a great learning experience. Am thinking of something along the lines of the stock on the NJR100..

Excellent job! That is the right approach to designing a stock, and you started correctly by committing it to paper first.
My first stock was done the same way, back in 2010, with a copy of the Accuracy International AW stock for a Benjamin Marauder. I had it converted through AutoCAD to CNC so it could be duplicated. I made about 20 stocks that way, and still have two blanks left.
Your attention to detail and the way you finished it off, is very good. Poplar is a good wood to use because of its ease of working, and it takes paint/stain very well.
My hat is off to you! Job well done. You should be rightly proud of that work.
