Young Kiwi Guy makes own Tikka stock
Thought some of you custom rifle guys might be entertained. Stockmakers might learn something new and innovative....

Bloody hell, and here's me stressing about bedding a Mauser 98. Bloody good effort.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

Where there's a will, there's a way.
Can't say that I've ever used my feet to hold my work while i work on it, but hey..at least he didn't saw his toes off..LOL!

I learned I need to work on smiling more while whittling wood.

Not many these days have the gumption to just attempt and complete something new. This kid does.

My 1st one was a 22-250 on a Sako barreled action.
I bought a nice piece of French from Don and Norma for the killer price of $65.00
I used a Bridgeport to make my semi, I think there may have been some smiling involved. That was 34 years ago, I was 22 at the time and loved every second of it. As I recall I ripped that thing out, get it done man...there's shootin to do!! I couldn't wait to get lead in the air!

He did a great job.

I never knew there was such a thing as a hand held power planer. I gotta get one of those.

That guy is going to give some of you builders a run for your money, one day.

Duane, you better keep an eye on this one. That flat too checkering was something to behold.

It makes me wonder if he learned from Zavasta’s stock makers. I see similarities…

Joking aside, I am not afraid to admit that the result was far better than I could ever do!
