TIME FOR SOME MORE SAWDUST!

So I bought the BM stock knowing that I did not like the trigger guard area or the squared off bottom to the back half of the forearm.

So I ordered it without the finish on it.

Today I got bored again so it was time to do some shaping work on the rear half of the forearm.

Before doing any work you can see the blockish line, I made some measurements on other stocks I have and marked up the changes in lines.

Here is the other side with reshaping the contour above the trigger. You can still see the very block bottom of the trigger guard.

Lots of sanding later I have the trigger guard and the bottom half of the stock rounded to match other RAW's lines.

Notice I even took the rounding into the front half just to create a blend without impacting the area that rests in the front rest.

And for those concerned there was no material removed anywhere around the wrist. So that even though it is now internally braced it has all the external material as well.
