        So you buy a rifle for yourself or maybe the Mrs or one of the children..stocks to long , do you cut it yourself , search for another or take it to someone to get the job done. So far I've cut 4.......3 rifles & shotgun..I can say I don't breathe much when sawing but so far so good. The last was a new Uberti comp model that my wife wanted shorter & squared at the butt plate.[ not the normal angle cut they come with ]

What's your story ?

Measure 3 times. Measure again. Cut once, but carefully. The finest toothed saw available. Secured in a jig...While tongue against back of front upper teeth and cocked head at just the right angle and “Wallah”! All goes well.

I have only done one so far.  I used a sliding compound miter saw, making sure to carefully support and clamp the stock to prevent any movement.  I also used tape to prevent splintering.  It was a $350 Stoeger, so the pucker factor wasn't real high.:huh:

What Pat said. And, remember to tape the cut area to prevent teeny, tiny splintering.

Good point! I forgot about that. The stocks that I have cut I used a miter box and saw and I made a wooden jig (pieces of wood in various sizes in the miter box)  to keep the stock level and lined up. The piece of wood that I used to “level” the stock to get a square cut was secured directly to the front end of the stock with blue painter’s tape.

Howdy,

You  think that's 'fun'?

Try drilling and cutting into a brand new car

to add remote control outside mirrors.

My FIRST new car.

It came out so sweet some folks said it was

factory and I was full of bull.

Take a complement however its said....

Best
