is the b-square jig worth it? I hear that it is only good for the forward crossbolt and isn't big enough for the cz stocks. still worth having? anybody made a better one yet? why not?

thanks.

I would not take one if it were free. I measure the stock and figure out where I want the recoil bolts and stick thewood with a scribe. Then I line up 2 centers that I made, with one in a vise and the other in the drill chuck. Put the proper size drill in the chuck, set the stock on the lower center, drill through the upper mark, and you have straight hole right where you want it. I have a cutter I made the is piloted and cuts diameter of the large head on th eends of the recoil bolts.

Very simple and fast to use. WOrks on any stock for any action.

I don't need one either. I use my Bridgeport. I locate the position, drill and tap for threaded rod, thread the ends for flat head allen screws both ends, insert rod with epoxy and tighten screws. I counterbore the stock with a half inch end mill and make ebony plugs for the holes.

The milling machine is a must. I don't know how one gets along without it!
