Mark II Stock Project (Pic heavy)

[UNSC_WARRIOR]

I started this project several months ago but never finished it. Today, I decided it was time to finish it. I like the look and feel of a HS Precision Stock but they don't make one for the Mark II so I decided to build one from the startup. I made the barrel channel with a router and then completed the receiver housing with a dremel. I started to file the wood with different wood files but haven't finished yet. After filing is finished, i will put a layer of polyester resin to get a "plastic" finish then sand a little and paint it in flat black .
so...

Finished product should look something like that...

With a scope and bipod of course...

I'll keep you updated on the developpements.

Nice job! What are you using for wood?

Do your self a favour and stay away from polyester resins. They provide a very poor bond to wood. You should be looking for an epoxy product, like West System. I use it extensively and it is a superb product. Available in quart kits at Lee Valley or Marine supply shops.

Day 2 :
More and more filing and sanding...

The wood is some sort of medium/high grade plywood. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is though, I'll ask my father. For the polyester resin, I'm not sure yet, maybe I'll just paint directly on the wood.
