Restocking can be a daunting challenge if you don't know what you are doing. However, there are several books, a coupla DVD's and a number of web pages designed to help someone overcome those challenges.

The first thing I would recommend is to go to the "Rifle Building Tutorial" on the Member Resources forum.

Mike is building from a blank, but you won't have to do that. Just read through the tutorial, paying special attention to the areas that you will have to do, like inletting the lock, triggers, pinning the barrel, and final shaping, sanding and finishing.


The second thing I would recommend is renting a DVD set on "Building the Chambers kit rifle" to give you an idea of what is involved in stocking a longrifle from a pre inlet stock.[url] http://smartflix.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=119_33[/url]

I have also posted a coupla web pages providing pre contoured stocks on your other thread.

Restocking is much the same process as building one from scratch. J.D. gave you a good list of books to help you along.

My first project, many years ago, was restocking a CVA Mountain rifle. I like a longer pull and more drop than the factory stock gave me. I made a lot of mistakes but the rifle came out fine and went on to win a lot of competions and bring home more than a few deer.
