Bolt-Action Rifle Stock Blank

A full-length gun stock, modelled clean and waiting for the router. Despite the catalogue code, this file is unmistakably a one-piece long-arm stock: a slim, flat fore-end that runs the length of the barrel channel, a narrowed wrist, and a shaped butt with a gentle comb rising to a rounded heel and toe. The profile is that of a classic bolt-action sporter — no checkering or hardware, just the smooth structural blank ready to be refined by hand. It reads as a functional firearm component rather than a decorative piece. It suits gunsmiths cutting replacement furniture, replica and film-prop builders, or anyone reproducing a traditional wooden stock from a solid billet. Cut notes • Work from a seasoned hardwood billet — walnut or beech — thick enough to clear the comb and butt in a single blank. • Run the length of the piece with the grain flowing heel-to-toe for strength through the wrist, the weakest point. • Rough with a large end mill, then finish the curved surfaces with a ball-nose pass at fine stepover to avoid facets on the comb. • Sand up through the grits and seal with a hand-rubbed oil finish; verify any action inletting against your specific hardware before final fitting.
