Hi CGN'ers, I'm posting these photos of my CZ 858 project that I just finished this week. First off, I want to offer a Huge thanks to Hunter709 for helping me with parts I needed to put this together. Earlier I posted a thread asking for a couple of small parts and he stepped up and sent them to me no charge, not even the postage. All he asked of me was to show him a picture when I was done. His generosity inspired me to do the same if I can ever help someone else in a similar type situation without hesitation. So here are a few photos of the buttstock build, unfortunately I didn't take photos of the handguards and pistol grip when building those.
Here are the other parts I made last spring.
All my parts started off with hardware store maple boards glued together to get the proper width. About $15 total.
Then I cut out the rough shape with my band saw.
The first part of fitting these parts is to mill, or carve the parts that fit to metal parts or to the gun.
At this point I can drill the holes, which is the hardest part. This is the part where you make or break the project. I drew an outline of where the bolt would be in the stock to determine the depth I would need to drill.
Here is a pic with the bolt in the stock and some test fit photos.
Next thing I did was mill the stock down to the proper width.
Then a little cutting and sanding.
And now the finished photo after stain.
So, this is not a how-to thread but merely a guide or inspiration for anyone wanting to tackle something like this as a project. I am not a all a wood worker, its my first time making something like this The tools I used are my drill, band saw, drill press(with milling table and milling bits) and belt sander.
Hope you enjoyed!
