I've got loads of pics so far and am getting a load more tommorow when I get some more stock work sorted. The pillars were just made from ally tube, I could post you some if you get stuckOriginally Posted by dunganick
What stock have you gone for?

i went for a semi fancy grade walnut dual grip stock, with rosewood tips and caps. varmint forend.
cant wait.
the pillars might actually be very helpful, did you open up the holes much?
if so just with a standard drill bit?

Just a little, as the lightweight is Soooooo light it's soft
Just used a piller drill (Duh!) with the stock upside down, then a little finishing with a large rat tail file, the front is a tight fit and the rear stays in but can slide out when pushed with a pencil etc. I did this to stop the stress' opening up the stock anymore
If you were closer I could have made the pillars up for you on the lathe

yeh, shame
i have a tame gunsmith who will do the pillars for me i think.
hopefully the wood wont be so soft on my stock, and the spliting issue wont arise.
your stock is looking very good , i look forward to some pics tomorrow.
