New Savage MKii Stock Design

[03protege]

Have you heard of the Mossberg MVP? I read a few reviews on them and none mentioned anything about trouble feeding, so maybe there are some other factors into getting feeding smooth.

This review has some good pictures on the bolt they use, I'm not sure if it is entirely necessary but it defiantly does not make anything easier to build.

I'm really interested to see how this turns out as I would like to make a stock for a 308 Savage.

They have a unique bolt that helps with feeding. In my setup the bolt can only "see" a little bit of the case, and I cant make it "see" any more without getting the magazine in the way.

I received my ATLAS bipod yesterday (4 days after ordering!) And finished up the mounting area on the fore-end for it. I should be done with the fore end tonight and will put up some pictures.

I only have time to do 2 or 3 milling operations a night, so the main stock body will take some time.

This thread is so full of win

Here is what it will look like. The red line indicates what the bolt will see. That is a 300BLK round modeled to SAAMI specs and the mag is as high as I can make it go without modifying the mag a little, which I may do anyway.

This pictures the mag with upward pressure, and gives me a little wiggle room either way...

But it cant be too high otherwise upward pressure on the mag will cause feep lip / bolt interference.

Ok now I can see how that would cause some uneven forces making it hard to feed.

Your modeling skills are awesome by the way.

For the record I am the idea guy.... Trent is way better at this than he will ever acknowledge. If we could find some capital we have some pretty neat things in the hopper.

Fore end 50% done. My metal shipment was delayed, so it's been a good refresher to cut this where tolerances are much looser and I can make some mistake. I haven't cut something this precise in a long time.

And atlas bipod integration.

Nice, looks like you are off to a great start. I bet it feels good to get your..erm VG's... ideas off paper.

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Im not even kidding when I say this isn't even his best idea.

It is really starting to take shape, it looks great.

 

[goteron]

Thanks, I get the metal for the main stock body tomorrow. I got my nordic wire sliding stock today. It's actually an awesome stock.

 

[goteron]

I got the metal in, and did some more validation on the sliding stock design.

Here it is with the ACE stock

And I would use this riser

Man that thing is crazy looking, in a good way. Are you going to try to get it anodized? Supposedly it makes a huge difference in the durability of the ar15/m16 receivers but that may just be due to how thin they are.

 

[goteron]

I may send it off to get type 3 anodized, but it will be $100 probably. Still worth it with all of the time I am putting in. I will still duracoat FDE after that.

My Magpul K grip and trigger guard are here as well as all of the screws I had to order for this stupid thing. I hope it works.

Here is with the scope I am going to use, Nikon 3x32.. and a shorter mag

Looks great got any more progress on it? Some good design work on it be glad to see it when you finish.

 

[goteron]

Not much, I had to order some new tooling. Hopefully I will have a chance to cut the trigger group relief tonight. I started on the magwell, but its a bear, I need a 2.75" Cut Length end mill, which I had to order.

I also dont have enough space to drill using the chuck to the depth I need.

A couple more renders doing stock validation

I also changed the trigger guard to a solid piece instead of using an AR Guard, it gives me more space and is easier to machine.
