I hate to admit this but I screwed up a stock I was working on.  The mill vise came loose while I was inletting a sling swivel and made a larger than necessary hole. So.......If I could find a piece of dark wood perhaps ebony or such I could inlet it into the hole and have a nice contrast to remind me to make sure everything is tight when inletting. I would need a piece about one inch square and maybe 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 long. The stock is English walnut with black streaks, a really nice piece of wood.any help would be apprecated Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

Could a larger swivel base cover it up?? Like something off a pre64 m70? | |||

No I don't think so I am using a set of Dakota swivel bases. and the bit went off to the side. But I am open to all suggestions at this time. Never rode a bull, but have shot some. NRA life member NRA LEO firearms instructor (retired) NRA Golden Eagles member | |||

install the swivel in a piece of ebony. Just use a larger mill cutter to oversize the slot and install a piece of ebony.....it might look intentional. I can send a piece of ebony if you like. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

I've got some reject Clarinet bells out of African Blackwood which is blacker than my heart. I don't have one in my hand as I write, but they are easily larger than your size requirements. IIRC correctly they cost me about $5 each, with shipping it would be about $10 for one. I have ebony too. If you have to have ebony, I can check on what I've got on hand. I am not a wood seller, just a wood nut. Let me know if I can help. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||
