Next one will be blonde...NOW FINISHED !!!

After following this thread for some time, you have convinced me to finally get an Enfield. Who knows, maybe I will make a few furniture sets up for it at some point! But I digress, here is my new baby.

Yup, you read that right, I'm done ! It only need a couple of coats of linseed oil, and it will be ready to shoot.

First I removed the reinforce piece from the old stock, and I fitted it on the new one

Next to do was to fit the sling swivel on the buttstock. As per my habits, I used the fostner bit, with a bit of chisel work

Next and last, I shaped the wood with the hand-held grinder with a 60 grit sandpaper. Got to go slow on this. Also a bit of rasp workk was necessary to do the interior of the "handle" on the buttstock

Here is a pic with the parts I used as reference, and a pic of the completed woodset, before finish.

I'll post pics when the finish is applied

I would like to thanks all of you how followed this thread. Thanks to Louthepou for measurements, to Goldidig for the free parts, to Ebruder for the front band, to TradeEx for the bayonet and sling, and the rest of you for your good comments. The final result is a bit "fatter" than an original, but hey, I like it like that.

My plan is to shoot it with open sight this summer, and to fit my scope on it for the next deer season. I got a scope mount from Gairlochian.

Now let's move on to the next project...
 
Wow!

You sir, are a master. Your threads are equal parts educational, inspirational and entertaining. Truly, some excellent work!

Bob, That is quite a job.

I don't have much talent working with wood.

I followed your thread from the beginning and found it so interesting.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Excellent work!
I have an unfinished Beech stock, and they made them with a bit of meat on them for fitting, and future FTR's, ( sanding out the dings etc.) so I would say yours is probably quite accurate.
Way to produce.

Que all the guys PMing you to make some up for them.

;o)
Now you did it!
 
And here it is with a couple of coats of linseed oil. Exactly the color I wanted it.

it took around 27 hours of total work to make everything you see here. I counted my time just to get an idea of how many hours required to build stocks.
