Holy shit, that's nice!

Nice!!

Ij ust redid a sks and used that Tru-oil stuff, it works very well and only cost like 5 bux for a bottle, on my last coat i scuffed it up again with 0000 steel wool while using their gun stock wax as i didnt want to mirror finish on a sks. it turned out very well

I haven't bought a takedown because of the blah look they have. I would buy THAT! Work of art man, work of art!

Wow even got the seal of approval from the big kahuna. Haha thanks a lot everybody. Hmm now I need to figure out something to thread onto that barrel...

I think people wouldn't mind PAYING you for something like that.

The thought has crossed my mind but I just don't think I could do it at a price which would seam anywhere near reasonable for a complete rework such as this.

Just curious... what kind of price would a fellow waguner be looking at for a simple conversion of a wood stock, nothing fancy, just modified to fit the takedown?

[DocNugent]

Would a big hole in the stock like that make my Papoose worth more? Or less?

I've seen that done to Marlins before, so I know it works with them, too.

let the cutting begin. I picked up a wood stock today. problem is i don't have a router so we'll see how far i get this weekend

[acidfly]

Well.. I was inspired to say the least. Stripping the finish was a pain, so far ive just reprofiled the squared edges of the stock. I need to pick up a router and table, hopefully cheap so i can set the receiver and barrel. Atleast for now I can work on the grip and butt, not sure if im going to cut it out like Carpenter had done, well see how bored i get.

[acidfly]

Still have minor fitting to do, more sanding and apply a finish. It turned out pretty good.. not to much of a pain in the ass.

Bumpin'.......been seeing some really cool DIY projects here latelty. Hopefully other people can be inspired to do different cool things as well.

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.















Here are some progress pics.

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

In some of those it almost looks organic!

Damn, it's been 2yrs already. Here's my finished stock. Thanks for the inspiration Carpenter.
