FX DRS New Wood Stock Design Development

[Loren]

I did a little test shooting with the 3D printed stock and felt the trigger reach was just a wee bit short. I pulled the action forward just a bit and really improved the feel. I also made some small changes to the relief cut for the cocking handle. Using 3D CAD models and 3D printing prototypes sure speeds up making these small refinements versus cutting them in wood.

Started making some chips.

I prepped the blank and have it mounted on the CNC.

First Op is to face of the top of the blank over the butt for later operations on the adjustable cheek riser block. First clear look at the laminate stackup.



Next Op is to part off the cheek riser block.





I have about 60% of the CNC programming completed. There is still a lot of detail tool paths to create for the inletting.

Taking shape with roughing out the first side.

I have most of the inletting from the top cut.

 

[Loren]

Inletting is all complete. Finished up work on the bottom side today.

 

[Loren]

Cut the cheek riser block. I had some tear out on the back side so will be making a second. Lucky I have some of the material left from the glue up.

 

[Loren]

It is off the CNC. Now to just get it finished.

Wow! Now this really re-defines what a project gun is, beautiful work, and nice machinery.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us . Totally amazing work by you and I’m anxious to see your finished stock.

I have been real busy with another project to add some more capabilities to the shop, so the FX DRS stock has been sitting in the work que. I have some time to day to do some work on it. I cut the butt to length and installed brass thread insert to attach the recoil pad. I then sanded it to a point that I was ready to raise the grain before final sanding. Here is what it looked like wet with water. I am so wanting to get oil on this one.

What oil do you prefer for your stocks?

I like the Minwax Antique Oil, but I believe it has been discontinued. I will be looking for a replacement for it if it does not come back.

It's finished !
