Thread: Remington Model 1894 Damascus Shotgun re-stock

I was given this shotgun to re-stock by Home - Oakridge Custom Finishing, LLC so I can continue to practice cutting stocks. After doing as much research as I could, I decided I would better serve the customer by getting a rough cut stock and finishing from there. I picked up a stock from Gunstocks, Inc - Semi-Finished Gun stocks made from the finest woods about a month ago have let the wood settle into our high humidity environment. Started cutting slowly today. I'm going to finish the inletting then work on shaping, first the buttstock, then the forearm.

We need progress pictures as you go. I have a felling this is gonna look great when your done.

That's my plan. Hope you all enjoy it!

Nice!

This is going to be a great thread. I saw the stock you did on arfcom for the SKS, it turned out very nice.

very nice! and yes. pics as you go...

I've been cutting on the inlet very carefully. I'm not using inletting black, don't see a need at the moment. The rough cut was close, but still a lot of cutting to get it right. It's getting there. Can't say as I'm extremely happy with the rough cut stock, it missed the boat slightly in a couple of places, especially the gentle curve at the top of the receiver. Most of the gaps will disappear with finish, but I sure would have liked it a lot closer. You can see the chisels I'm using for this work. They always have to be kept very sharp.

Looking good!

Aw, I can't see.

Odd. I'll have to fix this. Dunno why the links changed.

Fixed!
