Best way to make a cut in Tapco stock for Spike Bayonet
- Thread starter cbabes
- Start date
Dremel tool would be a great way to say "Bubba owned this." Have you ever tried cutting a straight line with a dremel?
I'd use a drop saw with plastic/aluminium blade... just lower it enough to make a nice, straight, factory-looking cut (don't go too deep)
---- Alternative
Heat up the spike to near red hot with a torch (in the area to contact the stock), then drop it on the stock and allow it to melt into the stock. Dunk it in water when it's melted all the way and remove the bubbled over excess with a razor
Do it outside to avoid inhaling plastic smoke.
*Warning* This method could ruin your stock... but could look good too It's a gamble.

Thanks, that may be a better idea. I have never tried a straight cut with a dremel.
I think the bayonet looks neat and it's strong as h###! I opened a box of surplus with it just to simulate how they did it in the middle of battle.
Ripped the weld right open in a matter of seconds.
Thanks for the offer. I was a little impatient and cut a slit myself. Turned out pretty good.
