In part 1 of a new series on making a military rifle stock from scratch, I'm discussing the importance of wood selection as a solid foundation, as well as moving on to the rough cutting in preparation for inletting and shaping.

Most bolt-action military rifle stocks have been made from walnut, beech, and birch. When local availability demanded it, less commonly used woods were Australian coachwood, Indian teak, northern elm, and katsura are some examples. Maple and cherry are almost unheard of for "modern" military stocks, although I suspect they were common for the hand-made rifles of the flintlock era.

I was thinking of mostly US domestic production which used maple primarily in colonial days. I know European countries in the 19-20th centuries used various woods, like Swedish Mausers in beech or Finnish Mosins in birch.

The Springfield Model 1898 is one of my favorite rifles, looking forward to watching you work your magic in this stock crafting adventure!

Found you from a reddit post, I didn't expect such quality from the video. I'm probably going to build a Norwegian krag up from a barreled action and I think you videos will be very helpful, informative, and entertaining!

This is the video I’ve been waiting for, I plan on making the stocks for my 1916 Mausers and Gewehr 88’s

@rakumprojects Год назад

Gewehr 88 stock prices have shot up with Century's recent-ish import of barreled actions. The one I got luckily had a complete fore-end and I grafted on a buttstock. I'll have to make a video showing that process

@texascastblast5011 Год назад

@@rakumprojects that would be cool, I plan on making the wood stocks, the metal I’m not to worried about finding like but plates and barrel bands

@aquastar1182 Год назад

I wonder if a company began to produce gew 88 stocks if it would make sense for them to do it money wise. Too many gew88 barreled actions out there without stocks, so I feel like it’s be a big market to tap into. Also makes me wonder what happened to them all in the first place lol.

@usna98 Год назад

@@rakumprojects Looking forward to that video! I have a similar 88 action and stock with the buttstock missing as well. I bought a walnut blank to make and graft on the stock, but have never done it before so was just going to wing it and hope for the best. Now I'll have something to reference. Thanks!

Great video! I’m enjoying this series. Found this channel after watching the Mannlicher 1888 restoration videos. Do you taken commissions/projects? If so, I’d love to discuss one I have. Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

@rakumprojects Год назад

Thanks! Unfortunately I barely have enough time for my own projects. Maybe one day in the future

@captianbadtouch5767 3 месяца назад

Hey is there anyway I could get the schematics of your stock? I don't have the time to make one from scratch so I'm having a craft shop inmate make one for me, and obviously I can't bring in my phone to show the feller these RU-vid videos, I'm having him make a new stock for my own 1896 krag^^

@kibbeystovall7546 Год назад

You have picked what must be one of the most fragile military stocks to replicate. The Krag-Jorgensen action forces the removal of the "sides" of the stock to fit the magazine leaving only a narrow section under the action that could be easily broken by careless handling. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-87jHzQ70Zck.html at the 26:00 minute mark for better discussion by experienced gunsmith.

@rakumprojects Год назад

Mark is good. He's spot on about that area being fragile, but really only when the action is removed. I've seen Krag stocks with minor cracks in that area, but nothing too significant. I should have mentioned it in the video, but for this particular stock, straight grain in that area is just as important as it is with the wrist.
