    $100k to Convert Tikka Stock to Rokstok While I (Im)patiently Wait

    Yup, it would be a good option but our Intamsys printers offer their own factory PETG, though they may have a similar material. They are open source, which is cool, but you would need to dial in the chamber, bed, as nozzle temps manually. Our BigRep high temp is a good material, of I do a...

    Agreed, the kydex holds solid here where I have it braced, but I'd never install one on a plastic stock without internal horizontal pillars because you can't tighten it down enough to stay put. It's also far thicker/heaver than it needs to be, especially with the cross bolts, IMO. 3D printing...

    I like that idea a lot. I actually think the grip could stand to be a smidge longer for an adult, but pushing the bottom surface down as-is results in the grip screw recess coming to a sharp edge at the rear. With your suggestion, the grip could be integrated with the entire bottom edge and...

    Yessir, literally just clicked POST on a response to HighUintas, and have some ideas about that!

    $100k to Convert Tikka Stock to Rokstok While I (Im)patiently Wait

    I appreciate it! I thought quite a bit about this. The toe is stepped up a bit because I was limited by the height of the recoil pad. The stock width required a "small" decelerator, which is only a little taller than the finished product. I have the pad dropped as low as possible on the...

    Great question! Simply because it's 3D printed, which comes with its own complications. That additional height would add A LOT of time to the print (more time for something to go wrong/tie up the machine for customer prints), would be a tall unsupported piece that could be subject to warping...

    I was able to grind the recoil pad to fit...my first attempt at doing so, please don't judge me 🤣 Here's the recoil pad/spacer assembly installed: And this is the final configuration with the cheek riser bolted on: I like it, and my oldest daughter can get behind it, reach the trigger...

    Thoughts on Ruger M77 Action Potential?

    What was the process for making this work? I assume it wasn't as easy as a prefit on a tikka? Would it be cost effective to buy my next Tikka in whatever caliber I want for the Ruger (say 308 or 243) and swap over the barrel...then buy the 6 creed prefit barrel I want to screw on said Tikka...

    Installed the spacer with the factory recoil pad screws. I had to drill the screw holes deeper into the rear posts, and actually cut off 1/8" or so of the bottom screw with a hacksaw to keep it from bottoming out on the rear sling stud insert. No issues with the top one. On my second...

    Thoughts on Ruger M77 Action Potential?

    Ah I see, I misspoke on how he labels them as he uses the term "low" for a flat top receiver with the same height front and back using his "33" height (#3-30mm) rings. His 33 is equal in height to Ruger #3 rings, his 43 are identical to Ruger #4 30mm, and so on. So he calls a 33-43 set medium...

    Thoughts on Ruger M77 Action Potential?

    They are the lows, or 32mm model that he has listed. They are identical in height to the bottom of the scope as the factory 1" low set, but Ruger doesn't make lows in 30mm. Still worked fine with my 42mm SWFA, only interference is the ridge of the scallop on the bolt handle can slide down the...

    Thoughts on Ruger M77 Action Potential?

    An update on the rings, Morris was kind enough make me some button-head versions of his QD set. He also builds a true "low" option in 30mm, which Ruger does not offer for some reason. What's even cooler, his rings are not an either-or offering. If you decide you want QD, you can buy the lever...

    Appreciate it, fellas! I do feel pretty lucky to not only have the tools at my disposal, but also a boss that lets us use the resources for personal projects if we do a blog write-up on it. I get a lot of enjoyment out of improvement projects as well, especially when it's to solve shortcomings...

    WTB Kuiu Arm Warmers

    If anyone has a set of old kuiu arm warmers that they bought when available and have yet to find a use for them, let me know what you'd want for them. I'm looking for something to use as light fitted sleeves for no gi grappling when needed without having to buy long-sleeved rash guards, which I...

    You know, I honestly haven't had the time to put any real thought into the next step with this thing. I'm gonna hold onto it for the moment, I need to make a slight aesthetic adjustment so one part lines up a hair better with the stock first. Also being that I borrowed the main aspect of the...

    $100k to Convert Tikka Stock to Rokstok While I (Im)patiently Wait

    Haven't been able to work as quickly as I wanted, as I've been dealing with a bit of a medical issue that's forcing me to work from home instead of accessing the tools at work. This is a Tikka youth stock, and will ultimately be for my oldest daughter, so the LOP will be a hair short for me but...

    $100k to Convert Tikka Stock to Rokstok While I (Im)patiently Wait

    I appreciate it! I think the tough part would be beating the $20 price tag that Tikka asks. I didn't look at the retail price but 3D prints are relatively expensive, especially with the better engineering plastics, and I'd have to sell a ton of grips to pay for a mold! But people spend stupid...

    That's cool, we don't have any machining capability in-house but I'd love to be able to do all my own work! We sell Creaform scanners, though we are right down the road from Faro HQ, and my boss was one of the original engineers who helped steer the development toward metrology work.
