CZ550 Project Continues. “The Stock” Part 3.

The stock is now finished and what a wonderful job it is but I guess that any person who has had Ross Waghorn make a stock for them knows just how good a job he does.

To recap an earlier photo, this is the blank as it arrived from Roger Vardy who had selected the blank based on the caliber and the style of stock that I was wanting. We will then show the various steps that Ross took to complete the stock.

The first thing that Ross required to do was to find the center of the blank and inlet the barrel and action.

Then the final shape is created.

Finally the process of “Oil” finishing begins, the following photo was taken with just 1 coat of oil.

Once the 12 Plus coats of “Oil” has been applied allowing each coat to dry naturally with a slight rub back between coats, the final finish is achieved and lastly the checkering is “Cut” and then the “Masters” art is ready for all to see.

In “Part 4” you will see the engraving that Ron Croxon has completed and hopefully you will approve of my selection.

Until next time,

Cheers for now,

Jeff Gray
