finish
Adam, I use the Purdy's Wharthog kit, it has the alkenet root oil. That kit is very popular with guys restoring Pre 64 Winchesters because of the red brown color it produces. It is a labor intensive finish but well worth it.

With the CZ in stock form you start with the bottom metal and inlet it. Then inlet the action and barrel. From there you lay out your profile lines and rasp away. From this point it's all done with the eyeball as your guide, at least for me it is. Little nuances make the stock. I will be making new bottom metal for the CZ once the mill is running, it'll mirror All of the Mauser after market bottom metal and allow for a hinged floor plate, which will greatly ease the pain the shaping and refine the looks.

I would suggest having one duplicated. I have done some of Richards Microfit There can be a lot of work with theirs but nothing like starting with a chunk of wood and a chisle. Adam, Adam You know better than suggest someone start with a blank. You have done a few from a duplicator first. By the way, nice work. Kenny

Thanks Kenny, but those that I have done from a dup have been just as hard if not harder than from a blank. The Dup'd ones are harder since there is so little to work with, I'm speaking of Richards Micro. If you can find someone with a Don Allen or Hoenig then all's well in the world. It's longer work but IMO easier since there is more room for error and correction. Adam |

I agree Richards can be a challenge at times.
Your mill is going to come in handy also. Keep up the good work. Kenny

What style is the Richards stock. It looks like a staight line thumb hole sporter style with a bench rest foreend. For ordering purposes is there a better way of describing it? |

It was a straight line thumbhole with a 2 & 1/4" forearm.
This is what the forearm looked like. I took a lot of wood off down to the back of the grip. Kenny
