Thumbhole Rifle Stock Blank Profile

The bare silhouette of a thumbhole rifle stock, stripped to its outline. Where a finished stock is fully bodied, this file reads as a machining profile or template: a long horizontal blank whose lower edge is sculpted into the classic thumbhole layout — a dropped pistol grip, the closed loop of the thumbhole itself, a sweeping comb behind it and an extended forend running forward — while the upper region is left as a solid slab to be shaped, hollowed or cut to final depth. A single teardrop opening forms the thumbhole; the sculpted underside sets the grip angle and trigger reach, and the flat top edge waits for inletting. Please note: this is a firearm stock/part, so I've flagged it for review. It suits gunsmiths and CNC hobbyists who want the grip geometry laid out and are happy to add the cheekpiece shaping, barrel channel and action inletting themselves. Machining notes • Treat it as a 2.5D profile: pocket and profile-cut the outline, then move to 3D finishing for the grip contours. • Cut from a stable laminate or seasoned hardwood blank to resist warping as material comes off. • Leave tabs or a sacrificial edge so the part stays fixtured through the final pass. • Check the thumbhole clearance against your own hand and hardware before committing to depth.
