    DIY RokStok in maple

    I incorporated the essential design elements of the concept described by @Formidilosus. I didn’t try to make an exact copy of the actual product because this will only need to fit me. My forend is much narrower and not quite parallel (Form did say "or near parallel") because that’s what I like...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    I started by tracing my Ramline plastic stock as a point of departure. That told me where my trigger, tang, and action screws would be. I then modified that with a negative comb, parallel toe line, and near vertical grip with 1.7” reach to trigger. The relief area behind the grip I just kept...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    I’m more of a walnut guy but this will work for $40.00 I still need to finish bedding the action but it’s fun to assemble it and see what it’s going to look like.

    DIY RokStok in maple

    After fitting the recoil pad (sorry no photos of that process) I sanded down to 400 grit, then narrowed the grip yet some more, then sanded down to 400 again. Let’s give the Aqua Fortis a try! This is weird stuff. It looks like this after cotton swabbing it on… Then you run a heat gun over...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    That’s great! My next project will probably be a stock for my son’s CZ 457. The factory stock is way oversized for him but I’m a little intimidated by all the hardware CZ embeds in their stocks. Was that a problem?

    WTS Outdoorsman’s compact tripod

    $345 shipped now cleaned up! That’s right, now if you want to show up to elk camp with a dirty tripod you have to find your own dirt. Stuff sack included! See those kittens? They’re starving because I need to sell this tripod so I can buy kitten food. Have you seen how much they get for...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    Working on the grip… …and tip I’ve done three forends/tips before but only slight modifications to grips. This is where I’m baffled by the artwork @Decker9 produces. I want a grip much like the RokStok that fits my hand. It doesn’t need to be ambidextrous so only a slight palm swell on...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    I have a pachmayr ultralight grind-to-fit that’s been sitting in my shop a few years so I’ll use it. I was fingering the limb savers at Sportsman’s Warehouse yesterday and might like to try one of those some day.

    DIY RokStok in maple

    Shaping the rear end… Lots of rasp work with a little cheating on the bench sander but that seems risky!

    DIY RokStok in maple

    I have a milling vice for my drill press and I thought about getting a mill bit but didn’t want to risk it all spinning out of control. Ever tried that? I think I read some notes cautions and warnings against milling with drill presses.

    WTS/WTT Unfired Alpha 6mm Dasher SRP brass

    $93 shipped to CONUS. 93 pieces of unfired 6mm Dasher brass from Alpha Munitions. The other 7 pieces I used to make up dummy rounds to see if they would cycle in a rifle I want to rebarrel but that didn’t work so I have to choose a different chambering. Trade for similar value of .223, 6...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    I got the barreled action sunk to the desired depth. That sure feels like progress! Also a little more trimming up the forend and comb with a bandsaw. This slab started out 2 1/4 inches thick So there’s a lot to cut off to narrow it down to the desired 1.9” at the action, 1.6” at the recoil...

    Hollow Boot Sock thickness

    I bet if you weighed the two similar pairs the hollows are lighter than the darn toughs

    DIY RokStok in maple

    More inletting and a little trimming with the bandsaw. I had intended to leave the bottom metal about .050” proud of the wood in front of the trigger guard to facilitate ease of floor plate removal/cartridge emptying but operator error resulting in too much material removal will result in...

    How do you make sure those screw holes are in the right place and trued up? I know there are some great tricks out there…
