Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Wood stock weight reduction.

Thanks 1234567,

I was thinking using a 1/4" diamter bit to drill 8-10 holes through out the butt stock.

My standard bit may not be long enough. I would look for a 8" and use a peice of tape as a collar to measure my depth.

Good point on the wood dowels for weight measurement.

I had also thought about 3 or 4 small holes under the grip cap, But I concerned about compromising the strength of the wood in the wrist areaa. Also the angle may be tough to get started on.
