P90X will get your butt in shape in no timeI've seen some people on other sites who carve their own butts.
Anyone on here ever try it? I'm looking for a new project and have thought about doing it many times.
I'm not sure, never done it myself.Never tried it, I have basic wood tools IE skill saw drill router. Do you need special tools ???
I will be trying it at some point although I'm exceeds my ability.there are many of the stock makers that sell blanks for custom wood stocks that can be found online. how the custom gun makers take the blank and make the inlet, is probably the hardest part. my guess would be a lot of work with some wood chisels and such, maybe a router.
Pics? What kind of wood is it?I'm currently making a stock for my old sxs. I used a bandsaw to cut the basic shape, a spokeshave to remove most of the excess wood and get the final shape, and I'll use rasps and files to fine tune the shape before sanding it. It has taken a lot of time to do this, but it is worth it. Luckily, I have the old stock to use as a reference. I had to buy some special tools to do the checkering, but they were pretty cheap for just the few I needed. (It had very simple checkering). It is a fun project if you like to work with your hands.
I'm sure a router will too.P90X will get your butt in shape in no time![]()
check out Boyd's Gunstocks. very good stocks and they have some to fit the M60. their prices are reasonable and the shipping is pretty fast too. i have used two of their laminated stocks on two of my rifles and they are really nice. they have something that might suit your needs, check them out.well I am currently taking an original model 60 stock and shaping it to my likeing..I.E carve down the grip, cheek rest, add to the butt. Don't got the mulah for the grown up tools, but i can see what it will look like in my head and my knife an hand sanding can still do the job..just might take a lil longer...
I don't know if I could sell mine if I did all that work to it.
Any pics of your progress?well I am currently taking an original model 60 stock and shaping it to my likeing..I.E carve down the grip, cheek rest, add to the butt.

Hey if I can turn a $90 pawn shop gun into a $30-$75 profit why not?
