Which form of the cyanoacrylate did you use and how did you apply it to the wood?
Loctite professional. Rubbed on with gloved fingers. If you try it, be sure to use a respirator mask. It's fumes are highly toxic
-
I didn't either but I like to think outside the box. I hardened it on the surface with cyanoacrylate

Not sure what you mean by interesting but this iinterests me. It quartersawn sycamore that finished at 1lb 11½oz. I hope to have this rifle done before this fall

It's chews up a whole day for a pair

25 years ago, I had to re-learn motor skills and started carving stocks by hand. It morphed into this obsession
-
It's really not that difficult. Somewhat time consuming....yes. This is about ½ of what i turned this month
-
Very simular to what Argentina did to the 7.65x53 when they reamed them to 30-06. Definitely more accurate when hand loaded & bumped up to 311-312 bullets. What is your magazine length on the jap?
-
Oh, I hear you. I carved many by hand before acquiring the duplicator. It came from the Herters cusom shop auction
-
Carving from scratch is more than lots of work. A love of the game is truly required. My 1956 duplicator still stays pretty active
-
Do you still need a 93 extractor?
-
-
The extractor collar is different. It's easier to narrow up the Springfield collar than to grind the slot. This will work for 93-95 but being much shorter runs interference with the guide rib on the 96.
-
Jeremy just to clarify...
To use a 1903 Springfield extractor, you have to alter it. A 1903 turk uses a 98 extractor. There's still plenty unused surplus Swede extractors out there that are higher quality than any of Spanish parts that are drop-in fit. I got these on eBay for $32 shipped on a pair

Setting up a carve now. Longest I can dup is about 47 inches
Unfortunately, no. The pattern and the blank need to rotate on centers

I have not heard of a duplicator lately. Last I heard, there was a guy doing it, but the results were pretty sub-optimal from people that used him. He might have been the son of the guy that used to do that kind of thing, something like that. Why don't you do it yourself? You're good with wood working. It's just: cut out rough shape, sink the action/barrel into the block. I'm sure there's a bunch of you-toobes on people doing it. There was a SGN article on it when they had gunsmithing in the magazine. I have a plan to do it myself for a small ring, just another project I haven't got to. I need to cut up that elm tree for the stock before it rots.

It was $45 , remember?
The $5 extra should cover a beverage

Merry Christmas

Cute little puppy. How old?

Im not much of a maple guy, but seeing this out in New Hampshire last year i had to buy it. This is my first experience with this particular wood. Any advice on finishing this as to bring out the grain on the light part would be appreciated.
