i've made a wood stock before, i traced my old stock when i broke it.
you you are going to make a solid stock then you are going to need material thats like a 2x6 about 12-16 inches to work with. i wouldn't suggest a 2x6 because thay are made of pine and pine is a soft wood. it dents and scratches very easily. you can go get get 2 1x6 oak at 12-16 inches again and either glue and or screw them together. then plug the holes with wood filler or wood plugs if you can find/make them. sand it well, then you are ready for to trace. i don't think you can find a outline anywhere, so mabye you can do to your local store and they will let you trace one or look at it better. take you time, practice it a few times on paper or cardboard. if you get one you like, you can always cut it out, then you have a pattern. once you get your pattern on the material, now you can cut it out. i will only suggest using a scroll saw or a band saw to do this. do not use any hand power says like a circular saw, jig sawm recipricating saw ect. these are too dangeruos to use when working with a small piece of material like that and doing precise cuts. you'll lop your finger off. a fixed saw on a table is much safer and easier and will do a more quality job abyways. you will need a thin flexable blade to do tight turns, larger blades will snap. once its mostly cut out, then you need to sand a ton. you can use a wood file to remove area's that the saw couldn't get. i made a SAW stock and on the top, it "pintches" together near the back of it. i wound't cut this with the saw, so the file removed the material and then i sanded it smooth. good luck! |

If you really want a stock, I'd Just get a Car stock, and a raised sight rail. Definately try a few different stocks out first to see if you like how they feel. Personally, I hate them. They just aren't as comfortable as one might think, and you wont want to put in too much time making something your not going to like.

For the stock I made I drew the outline I wanted to use on a piece of 2x6. Then, since I dont have very many tools, I used a hand saw to cut out the outline, and a drill press to cut the inside outline and the inletting. Then, I used a hand saw and a drill press to cut out the part that would attach to the grip, and a dremel tool to carve the grip area where my fingers would be. To shape the stock, I used a razor plane and 80 grit sand paper, and once the shape was achieved, I used 250 grit sand paper for a final sanding. For the finish, I used minwax stain to give it a darker look, and then when the stain was dry I used 8 coats of hand rubbed tung oil, using steel wool between coats, making shure there wasn’t any steel wool on the finish before the next coat. When I made the stock I fit it to me so it is comfortable, as well as made it low enough to easily see down the top of my gun with a mask on and without a sight rail which is very helpful. Also, I have not had any problem with using a normal 2x6, although I don’t know what kind of wood it was. It has been hit against trees and rocks by accident, and there are no dents so far. I also think the finish makes it much tougher. The great thing about tung oil is if it gets scratched, just rub a little on, and it disappears!
(the flash makes it look really shiny and light in the pictures, but it’s more of a satin, dark brown/red in person) |

yea it looks pretty cool id get a wood foregrip on that thing, and not like a handle, like put it under the barrel, and you rest it on your hand, like on a real rifle. man that thing would look sweet with an SVD kit if you can do a stock like that, you can definitely do an SVD kit |

For $15 you can buy a good wood M-14 stock, then modify it. You could spend a lot of money on a stock, if you wanted to make a real showpiece. I still wouldn't cut a collectible one, but some woods look better then others and are common stocks. For a marker you play with, a refinish job on a modified $15 stock would make it look great. http://www.fredsm14stocks.com/ Just though this may help you get started with your raw materials. |
