Possibly. I just had to hog out the lug channel towards the trigger gaurd about 1/4in to get the action to fit. There is still plenty more fitting work to be done

OK it looks like it is not deep enough. With the action laying in the inlet the vent holes are low. With the barreled action they sit high.
Last night I started to finish hogging out the barrel channel and I've got about all but the last 2in free floated.
After I finish hogging the barrel channel I'll start on the pillars but I've don't have much more to go until i can start laying the lacquer down and putting some lead down range
well finaly got off my butt and got the thing head spaced and did some work on the stock ita late now but ill post pictures tomorrow

I removed a ton of material on the left side of the stock near the action where the action is milled. The radius around the back of the action where the safety had about 1/8in that needed to be knocked down. Around the ejection port the wood was a tad tall so I removed it and then in the area where the bolt release is I had to bring the cut about 1/2in forward and down some.
All the removal in these steps was a heavy rasp file. There is still a lot more fine finishing in the mentioned areas where im going to radius the edges and the. The major work will be on the forend where im going to taper the front a bit and possibly shorten it. I'll be starting my tapering just after the barrel nut. Then to pillar bed it and find the right color stain and spray some nice lacquer.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a36b087fb0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b6e7f3698c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bd0fd56639.jpg

As of today I see an issue with my magazine. I will need to get a different follower. Anyome have the part number for a 7.62x39 follower? .223 should be fine right?

I've been wondering what ever happened to this project.
I stalled out because I moved to Texas what I'm back now

Got the bolt handle cleaned up pin break. After work I'm bead blasting the action as well as the barrel because they're two different finisheshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3748a43bc7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b3e898e20.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...43ce016d41.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5fd8caf9e8.jpg

I'm sure glad you could find your project after a move. Very interesting following your progress.
I blasted the barrel and action and everything looks good now.

She was feeling photogenic tonight. The camera doesn't pick up anywhere near the character this piece of wood has but oh well the results will speak for themselves soon enough.
I have a hard decision to make and what colornto make it. I already have a custom blended mahogany and black walnut stained .270Win thats gorgeous so that color is out. What would you do?

Oh interesting. You could just purchase a Savage 7.62x39 mag, part number 55221.
That may happen. I wonder if I could just get the follower instead because in all honesty I'll never have the use for the .243 magQuote:

Yea I've been looking for the follower with no success.

Today i did most of the finishing work on the stock. I took the bottom half down to 500grit. I only did the bottom because I still have to contour the top half with a belt sanderhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...70a2c468d8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8aff116be1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...39702d1b8b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8b212dbe7c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8456a2e33.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...971f57efda.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3964ad001c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b0c666059b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...185a7d2fc3.jpg

Pretty stock!
I sanded for about 3 hours today. My arms are beat
You will need the mag and follower as the followers are specific to each mag as they have notches in the sides to match the dimples in the magazine boxes.Quote:

As a result, they sit back further than the bolt can reach to get behind the case head so when you go to chamber a round it slides over for 1/2" or so then catches on the body of the case and pushes it forward ultimately resulting in a jam. Was also gouging the heck out of my brass.Quote:

Didn't need to take much off, roughly 3/32" to get it feeding properly and reliably.

That is not the same as i was having. I'll post video in about an hour

Time to shape the forend andthings are about to get rough

Oh my god so stressfull. Only rough shapped and a lot more to go. I was forced to make a decision that I've beennthinking about doing anyways. The white dot in the middle of rhe rosewood is a dowel and thats where I will now be putting a quick detach cup for a sling.

Looking good.
Is it just me, or does the left side of the forearm look a little thicker (wider) than the right side in the second to last photo. Maybe it's just the angle or lighting/shadow making it appear that way.
It is. I was too freaked out with the belt sander and decised to hang it up for the night and come back with hand tools that I'm more familiar withQuote:

Looking good! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thank you. Its definitely a different kind of accomplishment to make a completely custom build on my own than just putting together the run of the mill parts gun ARQuote:

I ended up using 1 of the pillars to make both. This wasn't too hard as long as you have a belt sander, micrometer and a dremel. I did try to drill the holes 1 size at a time but it broke away the wood. This sucks but since I'll be using jb weld I think it'll be ok.
Notching the pillars to fit the action kinda sucked but oh well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8353beee55.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a5326fa870.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c0c2d3e02c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dfdba85acd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5635ac978f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b87d032cb4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c060144e68.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...da27264877.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...57db767653.jpg

Very cool. Would love to se some up close photos now that it is 95% complete.
Still more shaping to do on the for end then a light 600grit sanding to the whole thing then lacquer it. I will be installing QD swivel mounts as well. 1 in the forest where you can see the dowel that holds the rosewood and not sure where in the butt yet.Quote:

Great job. It must feel great to have it done.
Oh it's not done. I still have to finish the final shaping on the for end and then speedy the lacquer then install QD cups THEN it'll be done except I want to get a scope with a lighted reticle for night huntingQuote:
