Rifle Stock Making for the Beginner is a complete guide to rifle stockmaking, covering the stockmaking process from start to finish. The book contains information about rifle stock materials, how to select a stock blank or make your own blanks, how to design, cut, inlet, shape, sand, checker (or stipple), and finish the stock, in detail. The book deals with various stock designs such as traditional walnut stocks and laminated target-shooting stocks, and discusses the design considerations necessary to make a well-fitting rifle stock, such as length of pull, pitch, drop, cast and more. The book contains illustrations and pictures throughout, showing different tools and techniques. The book is geared toward beginners who do not have specialized stockmaker's tools, like for example a duplicator router, and shows how to still accomplish work of professional quality.
