I couldn't get comfy with the wood stock so I tossed this frankenstein together for a whopping total of $60. Still gota find a trigger guard, but it's pretty much finished.

It has an alluminum body that weighs less than the original wood. Adjustable buttplate, extendable stock, and a quick detatch bipod... it's fugly but it fits like a glove. I have a feeling my groups are gona tighten.

All done with a hand drill, file and hacksaw. Only broke 2 bits :p

UPDATE:

Ok so a few of you were curious as to how the new stock would affect the accuracy... well, I'm getting the same groups as usual, but I can print em out a bit faster, and a bit farther down range.

So yes, accuracy has improved, but I believe it's only due to the fact that I can now grip and steady the rifle better. I have no idea how the new harmonics/vibrations/free floating bla bla bla.... affects the rifle because i'm not good enough of a shot to determine that, especially at the short distance I shoot.

I didn't have much of my rifles favorite brand of ammo on hand, so not too many cloverleafs for bragging rights... but here you are.


CCI Target (rifles fav ammo) 40 yards. 3-5 shot groups.
Bottom right was cci mini mags.

I'll blame my poor shooting on this piece of junk that snapped during the session. I never learn, buying this chinese garbage f:P:

Oh well, an excuse to finally spend the $$ on a harris.

Its like an AICS rifle took up a hardcore meth addiction......an this tiny strung out gun is all that is left hehe.

Very original and I actually really like the simplicity.
 
I like ... can you make me one that will fit Savage 93 ;)

Just knock off about 5" on the fore stock and attach some sort of socket on the back to be able to install any AR stock :D
 
That's a real slick, minimalist look you've got going on. I like it. What make/model is the action?

EDIT: Damn, didn't read the thread title properly. CZ 452, correct?

Yep

452 american

Was alcohol in any way responsible for what has happened here?

My body is my temple, I would never pollute it with such a disgusting toxin.

:p

Form following function. A very satisfying design, impressive. A set screw for variable pressure bedding under the barrel perhaps?

Good idea, i'll give it a try if the groups widen with the new stock. And thanks for the kind words
 
I like it. Seriously. Not that I'd do that to my own CZs, but yes, good job.

What kind of groups are you getting now? Better than before I suppose, considering the full floating barrel?


I'm not sure yet, only dry fired it so far.

I'll try and print some groups soon and post em in here. But i'm usually firing at the 35 yard line so I doubt much will change at that distance... right? We'll see.
 
Interesting concept and not unlike some of the serious bench guns or tube guns that I have seen somewhere.

Its also not like you can't change it back to the original stock in a few minutes. I like that you took the time to do it and have to itch to experiment. Thats the only way to innovate and come up with new things.
