Ruger 10/22 home-made stock

[cz452shooter]

Well over the past few weeks i have been working on my 10/22 stock, customizing it for BR shooting. Anyway, it started off as an old 2x4 and now it looks not to bad. Here are pictures. I am painting it today BTW. I will be using the dupli-color Mystify kit, which gives me the base coat, color coat and top coat. The color will be Gold/Magenta (it will change colors in the sun). I will post final results when i am all finished. About 45-50 hours of work so far. Its really hard when i dont have the right tools, which include an old jigsaw, a dremel tool with not sanding drums, a wood file, a handsaw, and a load of sandpaper .

What do you think?

BTW: It started out as the carbine stock. The pictures above are with a couple coats of Dupli-color FP101 primer

That looks pretty darned good. I may have to try to do something like that myself.

Thanks guys. The temperature is not real warm out today so i think that i am going to apply a couple coats of the base coat today (with light sanding in between), and then apply the color coat tomorrow. The teperature today is about 16-17C, which is allright for the base coat but not good for the color coat.

Nice work bud,
looks like the Canadian version of a "hipshot, Sawdust or Squawsach" custom stock.

I've been keeping an eye on your thread @ rfc, hope you don't mind if I post the link for everyone to see.

I sure wish I was talented enough to make a stock like that.

I'd love to make a mold of that and make a few of those for resale out of fiberglass or carbon fibre.

Impressive!

Awsome stock. Out of curosity, how heavy is that?

 

[Levi Garrett]

That is one sweet looking gun stock, can't wait to see the entire gun. Did you use birch or maple, or walnut.?

I'm gonna guess Hemlock, by the 2x4 comment

Thanks for the comments and sorry for not getting pictures earlier. I have been a bit sick lately and sprained my ankle playing basketball at school so I havn't been doing to much lately . I am not really sure what i made it out of. I think its hemlock but I am not sure. I just used whatever I had on hand which was an old 2x4 . I didn't want to go out and spend a lot of money. I don't know the exact weight of it, but it is quite lite. It doesn't feel a whole lot heavier thent the carbine stock (I am sure it is though). My guess is that it is probably about 1.75 lbs. Cant say for sure though. Anyway, here are (finally) the pictures of the gun. Again, sorry for not getting these earlier. And sorry for the bad pictures again. I am going to try to get some in the daylight.
