In my series on making a military rifle stock from scratch, the stock has been fully shaped. All of the processes covered in earlier videos, the stock selection, rough cutting, inletting, fitting and shaping are repeated in order to make the handguard. When completed, both it and the stock are ready for finishing, which will be the next video in the series.

Absolutely excellent work. Well thought out and executed. Also, you did a wonderful job of explaining what you were doing and why you were doing it. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

This series is an incredible flex of skill, great work and I can't wait to see the finishing.

I have done this twice for a Krag Carbine and Winchester 1895 Carbine. Both were time consuming but well worth it. Nice job with this video.

I'm trying to make a stock fit a Krag action so this series of videos will be quite helpful! Keep up the great work!

I have an outfit making clips and rivets off my original hand guard for my blanks. How come you didn't temper your clips? When you shoot that a few times the vibration is going to unspring those clips and the hand guard is going to get loose.

@rakumprojects 4 месяца назад

The clips were made from regular sheet metal so they wouldn't hold a temper. I could have made from from spring steel but I don't think the durability of the mild steel clips are a concern. If they spread apart, they can always be re-tightened.

I tried restocking an old krag back to military form. I bought the wood from "Murrays gunstocks". For the price, I think it was a piss poor job. Especially the handguard. He used epoxy on the rivets to keep em im place; the wood on both handgaurd and stock was jagged.

@rakumprojects Год назад

Looks like he uses a stock duplicator. Typically they're for rough shaping and require a lot of finishing work to get the stocks to look nice. For not much more you could buy an authentic stock.

@FunWithFirearmsandFanatics 4 месяца назад

@@rakumprojects I know him quite well. Yes he uses a stock duplicator. He asked to borrow the buttstock from my 41 Johnson rifle so he could start making patterns for it. He had it for 8 months and I had a friend who lives in the same town, go down there and tell him give it back! He does make a really nice Japanese type two paratrooper fore end though.

Where'd you get those sheet metal cutters, those things are cool?

@rakumprojects 6 месяцев назад

They're called sheet metal nibblers. Mine are made by Eastwood.

@Kyle-qz4wm 17 дней назад

What were the lengths for the holes you drilled in the clips? I'm having a hard time finding real ones, so it is looking like I'm going to need to make them myself as well.

@rakumprojects 16 дней назад

They were 1/8" in diameter and just long enough to stick out of the handguard maybe 1/16" to peen over.

@mistercoloneldoctor 7 месяцев назад

Could you make me some spring clips and rivets for my Krag carbine handguard??

@mistercoloneldoctor 5 месяцев назад

What are the rivet dimensions?? Was spring steel used for the clips?

@rakumprojects 5 месяцев назад

I believe the rivet bodies were 1/8" diameter and the heads were .205". The clips were made from regular sheet metal.

@mistercoloneldoctor 5 месяцев назад

Thank you. I have a repro handguard that I was going to attempt making clips and rivets for. This helps greatly!

@firchkn7932 Год назад

Love your videos , always helpful ! Are you a gunsmith by trade ? You almost make it look like I can try it .

@rakumprojects Год назад

No, I'm just a guy in his basement that likes old guns. I'd suggest you tinker around, sometimes you'd be surprised at what you can make by setting your mind to it.
