So I started with an old 1980's era 10/22 stock. I took a file to the grip area to make it fit the hand better. Just filed away it till it felt right. Then I lightened up the buttstock with a huge hole, reshaped the forend to get rid of the barrel band and routered in some grooves just kinda fits with your fingers. Had to open up the inside to accept the takedown hardware and routered out a bit more underneath so you could get to the takedown release pin. Was a bit rushed and didn't take my time in a few areas like when I cut it in half and totally cut it on the wrong side of my line but I made it work. To stain this since it's the cheap birch or beech wood I used rit fabric die. It's mostly dark brown with a bit of red and a bunch of alcohol to dilute it. After that dried I started putting on coats of tru-oil while sanding it back down with 000 and 0000 steel wool in between coats. I'm not done with coats of tru-oil yet but I'm taking a break for now. Wish I would have taken a bit more time in a few areas but I started rushing cause I was putting way too much time into it. Thanks to Greg I had to swap out my original stainless Takedown for one of the threaded barrel takedowns while in the middle of hacking my stock up. Well on to the pic's hope you guys enjoy.

Since it's bumped, might as well see all the original pics. :thumbsup2:

In some of those it almost looks organic!


I am not sure how I missed this work of art... But with all that weight removed it must be barely usable, and only by the manliest of men.

The recoil and kick must be awful now. I cringe in terror just thinking about it, but it's beautiful!

Heyo Carpenter, since photofukit needs to go eat a big fat one...the pics of your 10/22 takedown aren't showing up anymore. Can you please update this thread with pics again and maybe give us an update on it if you have done anything else to it. I was wanting to show some of my friends what an awesome job you did with it.
