Having made a couple of stocks myself I recommend getting someone with a copy lathe to do most of the inletting and shaping, even easier if you access to an old stock that will fit the action to copy.

If I end up going the route of getting someone to do it for me, I think I'll be asking Alan Wey. If you follow him on facebook, you'll know how good his work is. alanwey.co.uk/wordpress/

Edgar brothers are now bringing in Barret .50bmg rifles, so stock available through their dealers. I have a 99 coming in the next shipment which i intend to compete with in Practical and the new factory class. Great rifles and a great price. Edgar Brothers are also distributing. 50bmg AMAX super performance ammo for £6.50 ! Bang! Incredibly cheap for match grade 50bmg

Had to read that twice. First time I read it as "I have 99 coming in the next shipment". Can't wait to see that.

Here some more pics of the build: The action: What a jigsaw. Do NOT take these apart unless you have an hour or so to figure out how the go back together again. White pillow case also required. Quit a few poing gone bits. Very fiddly to re-assemble too, so won't be doing that too many times. The start of the stock with a rough outline of what I want to do: Still got to wait for the reamer. That's the only missing bit now.

Come to a grinding halt for the time being. Still waiting for the reamer. Working on the stock, but not much to show for it yet. Still pretty much a block of wood. Doing the inletting first.

Latest update Now fully inletted: Also mocked up what it will sort of look like by chipping the old barrel to 12". Forend is a bit too long and it will of course have at least 4" of moderator on the end, but you get the idea: Certainly going to be a compact rifle.
