It has been a while since I posted pictures here. Being so hot, I decided to work a little on my three project stocks. I finished checkering a walnut stock for my Savage A22 mag. Now I'm putting an oil finish on it. Today, I ground the butt pad for the Savage 219 stock that I made. Next will be final sanding, with 220 grit, 320 grit, 400 grit and 600 grit paper.
Before I do that, I have to fix a mistake in the grip area. When I was contouring the lower grip with a rasp, I took it down too low and too wide. I'm going to mill it out and epoxy in a piece of walnut from the cut off from the butt stock wood.
