Custom axis stock
I just got an axis 223 for Christmas love the gun but the stock sucks and with no aftermarket stocks I decided to make my own. I found this site and saw bobfortier's post about building his (which helped a lot thanks) so I thought I would show my build.

I laminated three sheets of 3/4 inch birck ply

I never made a stock before so I used a 2x6 to figure out the shape and I don't have a mill so this was all carbide burrs and chisels. So tell me what you think or how I can make a better one.

Nice work , glad to see others are getting their hand on chisels and making wood dust ! If you want to get the best out of your new stock, pillar-bed it with Devcon, it will be a very nice shooter I'm sure of it. Nice work, way better than the first stock I did

Thanks, how do you bed it with the tang setup on the axis?
-
I put a lot of release agant on the recoil key, I insert it into the groove, and I bed the action like normal. Once this is done if you plan on removing the key you need to remove it from the stock, if not leave it right there...

viper9 Nice start welcome to the world of axis stock making. Did you paint the stock?
