I’m bored. And I have a bunch of parts sat about. How about an m24-ish gun build?

Leupold 10x ultra
PWS rail
Remmy Factory 6.5 creedmore. It’s what I had lol.
Timney and toss that xmark pro
M24A2 stock
Leupold Rings
Badger m5.

I bought a cnc machine off craigslist. For $900. Then fixed some shit and upgraded it. Used it to cut the stock.

A neat way to fixture a stock like this is to use a build plate and screw the action screw pillars into it. I opened the hole a little to the halfway mark and it captured the screw heads perfectly.

Then I made some fixing posts out of brass inserts with heat shrink tubing to be in full contact with the stick. Tighten a countersunk head screw in the table and it will push it against the stock hard. No movement now.

When I tapped it on with a Gracey hammer it left contact marks on the full circumference of the bottom metal. Not bad.

Shit. The height is off by .0015.
