One of our members suggested we need a thread on wood furniture on your firearms.
Well here's the place to post up some pics and stories of the "old style" furniture.
Guess i'll start it off with my 500A.,,,,,,,
I decided after 25 years i'm shrinking or my mossy is growing. I needed to shorten the LOP.
liking the wood stock I decided to "chop some wood".
I used my 10"miter saw,100 tooth blade.
It started out with a 14" LOP and I was looking for a 13". I made two cuts,about 1/2" each.
Put on a limbsaver and wound up with 13" on the button.(the reason for 2 cuts,JIC i need a spacer)
The smallest limbsaver still fits good and tight.
edit: forgot to mention,measure butt angle for "0" pitch. that's factory before cutting.
Some pics of the process,,,,,
the original butt stock,,,,
after the cuts,,,,
end result,,,,,
,,,,looking forward to seeing more "wood" mods and refinishes.
