This is a gunstock I recently finished. It is my first attempt at such a project. If your not trying new things, then what are you doing. Thought it might be fun to do, which it was. It is a piece of crotch cherry with a walnut butt plate. The wood butt plate was chosen since there is no recoil with a 22lr. This was a Marlin 15Y my father bought me when I was 7. It was way too small to shoot so that Is why I picked this gun to do. I have a feeling all my rifles will now be getting uprgades.

Boy, the words “custom” gun-stock doesn’t do this thing justice.
It came out beautifully!
Nice work !

That is awesome, my son has a marlin .22, youth model, this might be nice to try if I only knew where to start. Guess I’ll add it to the list :) Well Done!

Thanks for all the kind comments. Not as hard as you might think. Router, right angle grinder, rasp, file and sandpaper. O’yeah, lots of time and patience. I have a piece of birdseye begging to get with my Mauser. Hopefully some paying work will come in or I’ll have the nicest collection of guns in KY.

This is really a beautifully made piece. Even if it is for a gun . . . It looks like it would be a lot more comfortable with those extra curves and heft. I think you’re on to something here. You could be kept real busy by gun enthusiasts who want to modernize their gun stock.
