   Every time you smell that scent of poo, that's actual poo up your nose. Bug resin doesn't seem so bad.

	3 coats hand rubbed til hot and oil-sanding with 1200 grit paper. Getting there... Quite soft tho so will probably have to finish it with shellac a month or so after the last coast of BLO (to give it time to cure).

	Just put the first of many coats of Blo on that cedar cheek piece you gave me Brett. Will take me about a month to finish. That shape is great but unsure which rifle to put the cheek piece on! That cedar seems tough to pop the grain on but I'll get there, hopefully in under 30 coats!

	More than likely, it'll add to the weight but it's not going to be light when finished anyway :) of course if I do there'll be pics.

	Are you going to bed the stock like you said? I see you can buy the JB Weld metal reinforced epoxy filler. I might try some of that next time.

	Yeah, that's what she said! Here's another angle on it, it's actually pretty close to done, just the little aesthetic bits (which equates to a lot of finicky sanding)

	theres some bonuses in having the right people and equipment around for sure. I reckon these height adjusters are going to be just friggin awesome, pauly you should get a couple off Ian for your next build(s) neat design on ians behalf, allows the travel post to be able to be swapped out easily if you need to put a longer travel one on, one Allen keynand youre done. as it is it has 65 mm travel, which should be plenty If I can get some more time on it, the guide and post hole(s) are within 1mm, so just a light touch with the dremel and a sanding bit, and the back will be together. the hamster/riser I want to do on a spacer system, or something similar to the RAW one (quick release adjustable) Lets see what I can imagine up to fit there........

	That's looking really good. Some great design features. Well done so far. You will be looking forward to shouldering it I bet? (No pun intended) Having that nice piece of timber makes it special too.

	under the cheekrest all marked, using a dremel with a milling bit After a little while its looking like itll work A little more grinding out the hole, and a test fit. Im leaving the front part of the alloy block proud out the front, and will recess a hole for it to sit into on the stock body. Time to have a quick look at the main body also, smaller hole (15mm), bigger hole 25mm Edited by (pink)MIST - 11 Apr 2015 at 4:45pm
