Another Homemade stock build

[Got Diesel]

Well I finally built another stock from scratch. I had built one earlier in the year and planned on starting the next right away. That didn't happen, however I was wanting to have a new one built before deer season started. The build went the same way as last time. These are the only pics I have right now. Need to take some better ones with the camera vs. the cell phone.

Here are the pics I have of this build. This is my .308 Win


I figured out that I can build two from one of the blanks that I laminate together.

This is the test fire to make sure nothing was going to come apart before I spent time finishing the stock.


Here is how it shoots.


Don't mind the messy counter

Two brain stem shots. The 178 A-Max nearly decapitated both.


The only thing that I really changed up was pillars both front and rear. I can pull the action from the stock and return with no point of impact shift.

What did you make the laminate from? How did you go about bonding the layers?

The laminate blank starts out as a 2' X 4' sheet of birch plywood from either Lowes or Homedepot. It's about $14.00 for the sheet. I then use Tightbond III wood glue to glue it together into the blank.

Would you still recommend the birch plywood? (what thickness also)? Has it held up to the years of use?

Thanks

Old thread. Sorry

They do make precision laminates that stock builders use. Less voids and no glueing to get thickness.
