Perhaps a coat of toilet ring wax melted on and buffed off (ALA Mark Novak) would bring it closer to the middle rifle. Great work!

This is probably my new favorite channel. Not so confident in my abilities but you've inspired me. Always loved the Krag, neat gun. Just recently bought one at my local gunshop. 1899 Krag Cavalry Carbine. Only damage (besides normal wear and dents) is it's missing it's safety flag which has been replaced by some hunting rifle safety. As well there are two drilled holes plugged with screws on the receiver, would be fine except it's drilled through the Springfield marking, fiel part to be exact. Makes me a little sad, but glad to have a krag. Been 3d modelling the Krag in Blender for fun and/or a game project idk lol. Might just buy some tools and make a new stock, get some parts and have two krags.

Sounds like a nice rifle. The plugged holes are a bummer but the safety should be an easy fix

Your woodworking skills are nearly flawless. The precision to recreating a stock is amazing. 😮

This whole process has simply been outstanding. You have a beautiful rifle now.

Excellent craftsmanship.

Incredibly impressed and not just by the stock but by the way you created your videos and the way you talked through your process. It's incredibly inspiring but unfortunately I don't have access to 90% of those tools. I've become pretty good at refinishing stocks so that's probably what I'll stick to but as much as it took so long to create this stock it really is a masterpiece!

Brilliant work being one of my favorite rifles back to life. You got some serous work bench skills!

Just spectacular! You are talented.

First class work.

Excellent series! I have always wondered about the techniques required for stock making. Thank you for taking the time to show this in great detail!

Love the end result, you are very talented. It's been fun watching this series. Also, great job on saving a Krag!

Excellent work! Thank you for sharing with us.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing!

Just finished watching this series, hats off to you, excellent result.

I watched all 8 parts. Great job. I wish I had the skill and tools to do that.

Nice job with this video.

Boiled linseed oil is obsolete. True Oil, The gloss can be taken down With Birchwood Casey's Stock sheen and polish.

Wonderfull work! could you perhaps also do a series on a mauser? Like the Gewehr98 or the K98K? Thanks!

I like Swedish rifles, not saying this is a Swedish rifle, I just like it.

Excellent work! Lol, do you take commissions?

Thanks! It took around 8 months to make this one, so I'm eager to move on to other things. This series is meant to inspire confidence that anyone with enough attention to detail can make a stock for their rifle. Whether they follow step by step or just pick up a few tips here and there, hopefully it helps and inspires someone.

I suggest saving up and getting the tools/learning to do this.

My shoots 308 and 7.62 NATO so idk

I wanted to do something like this but for my mosin. The stock is beat to all hell and m44 stocks in decent conditions are hard to come by

Another old war horse restored to its former glory. Congrats😊🫡 P.S. the stock is beautiful😉
