AzRednek Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 In the old group somebody posted a link with pictures and step by step instructions on installing stock ferrules. Any chance somebody might remember it and could you please post it again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorgansBoss Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Those little threaded tubes sold at the hardware for making / fixing light fixtures work equally well. Plus they already have the grooves! I've also salvaged the tube from the bolt take-down gizmo's in the sides of discarded Mauser stocks for use in replacing action ferrules.

911rat Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I used Wagner as a reference. Following his instructions worked well. Here's a pic of my rear pillar installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doble Troble Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I use Wagner's excellent instructions too. I make mine out of aluminum rod with my beloved mini-lathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I was inspired by Wagner too. I am now using 3/8" welded tubing in the rear and 5/8" tubing in the front. I have made bushings for centering the pillars. I screw the pillars in tight with the bushings, and glass at the same time as the action. That way the pillars are normal [perpendicular] to the receiver. I assemble with the bushings out side the stock, and I like at least .030" clearance between the mag box and the reciever, so the bushings [and gunstock] are sure to cary the compression.
