What is the reason for the Aluminium block? I don't understand:confused::D:runaway:

it free floats the bbl and action while better supporting the long heavy bbl's.
at least thjats what i have gather t olearn from the interweb LOL.

nice looking rig BTW, see now look what you started mysticplayer, because stevens are such an easy, cheap preicison build base requireing very little if anything to equal in accuracy those remington custom super duper accurized $x thousand dollar rifles everyone is gonna want one and the stors are gonna crank the prices up :p

the stock came out looking really great, Ive never seen a stock built up like that, only seen after pics, never inprogress pics. really brings it all together to see how its done.
 
It may be fugly but it sure is a beauty.
Nice rig, not my style but I can appreciate the artistry of it all.

Read mysticplayer's article and it was quite interesting.
I will follow this story keep it coming.
 
That's what I was thinking! But was not sure......Thanks? I Wonder does it only apply to VERY heavy barrel's though? ....Either way it sure shoots nice and tight!
 
Umm.......Congratulation?

You certainly can't argue with the results, but my god man!
 
What did you use to glue the plywood to the stock? Is it just regular epoxy from a tube or is it construction adhesive? What did you use to finish the stock? Is that automotive putty? You did an awesome job on that thing and I am really intrigued!
 
When getting a barrel block made, how do you determine the size needed to accommodate the barrel and hold it so there is no slippage? .001 smaller than the barrel diameter, .002, .003? Is it then glued in somehow or is it a friction fit only?

When mine was made it was bored out a few thous over then we machined off the mating faces of the 2 halves until an interference fit was acheived.
 
not sure, but having a barrel block like that doesn't seem to be the same as free floating a barrel, but i can understand why it would work. anybody ever think of having the entire barrel in a thick block like that? what determines the length of the block?
