Nothing wrong with Projects and YOU get the end satisfaction.

Is the seller going along with this?

 

Just suggested those options yesterday evening and haven't heard back. His initial response wasn't encouraging. Didn't seem to understand the issue with the trigger guard inlet.

 

 

All I can say is Wow! Sad

 

 

 

Aint no way this guy that sold that to you needs a ban from this forum

 

What a MESS
Iffn he dont understand what is wrong with that he is an ........
Your offer is too generous, but he has your money; dont be surprised if he tells you to go jump.

 

Looks like rats chewed out the ‘inletting’.

As much as people hate PayPal, they have your back! If it was a money order I’m sorry.

 

Even on my worst day...

That should have been sold as a project stock. Not a partial inlet or complet.

 

A 7th grade wood shop project that got a D-……….

 

E+ only because he/she/whatever showed up for class.

 

Inlet your stock with this one weird trick - termites everywhere astonished !

 

Did you get it from one of the Angry Beavers? Thats unacceptable. Too bad you didn,t ask for a pic first. Good luck.

 

Totally unacceptable...

 

I would use a Forstner bit on a drill press, and a sharp chisel for edging and cleanup.

Was that here on the RFC Classifieds?

 

The seller has agreed to send my money back.

 

Holy smokes! Someone sold THAT at full price so obviously it’s a misrepresentation. Generous of you to accept 1/2 and shipping is a pita and uses up more $$$. So either he knew he was putting it to you or what……he didn’t? (Unlikely) If you could get all your money I would take it and eat the shipping if I had to. Looks like you’ll end up using filler around the bottom metal? Maybe cut your losses if you can get your money back. If not then you now have a project that may or may not turn out the way you want. But you’ll learn new techniques in the process perhaps. Crooks, the woods are full of em. Sucks.

 

Definitely a project. Some power tools are made to be handheld but others not so much. Trying to run a handheld dremel tool and use it like a router doesn’t usually work. I’ve successfully used dremel bits in my drill press and now days endmills in my mini mill to remove material to do an inlet. Here I’m set up to do a lower swivel inlet on my Crazy Lee M12 Riot gun. As usual the set up is the hard part.

 

Nice mill. If I had it, I'd be letting the bedding cure right now.

 

For centuries it was all done with chisels
Still can be

 

Well, yeah.. but for centuries the standard was 12 MOA.

 

My first inlets were done with small chisels but a drill press or mini mill does cleaner work for me in my old age.

 

Few things are more hazardous to firearms than Bubba with a Dremel tool.

 

I bought this gentleman’s USB drive of stock making information. It’s amazing to see him carve a stock whilst sitting on the tailgate of his pick up. Don’t know if it’s still available, he was a member here.

My pictures went away on Hunt101

Drill presses aren't meant for using end mills, or to have side load pressure applied to them. Just FYI.

 

Yep, seen that happen the bad way, where the drill chuck, fell outta the spindle...

 

Power tools make big mistakes faster than hand tools. Observe this stock as example.
Competent machine tool operators can do lovely work, beginners, eh, not so much.
I see no correlation of inletting a stock with chisels and moa.

 

Wow. Integrity just isn't what it once was......shame on him/her.

 

Thanks for all your help.

But this matter is almost closed. The seller sent me a pic of a PMO and I sent him a pic of the box at the post office with postage on it.

We're just waiting on USPS now.
