Sometimes you get lucky
Eric Krewson:
I don't know about a stock for a 30-30 but there are a bunch of places that will use your wood or supply the wood to precarve any type of black powder rifle.
I sent off two blanks to have the barrel inletted and the ramrod hole drilled, I did the rest of the shaping. I use full sized patterns that have cross sections shown so I can get the shape right.
A stock for a modern gun would be a piece of cake compared to a M/L.
I use a contour gage like the one in the picture to get the shape right.

Good find! Im getting ready to start a 36, 40 and a couple of 20 smooth rifles once I get these 20 anniversary bows finished. Im building the 36 for me. All of these are from blanks.

Thanks Eric, sorry to hijack your post, but I figured you were the best person to ask. I am planning on building a wood stock for my cva bobcat so that will help. The contour gauge is a great idea! Thanks!

Mike Yancey:
You should be done by now! Where are the pictures!!!
Eric Krewson:
I have had the creeping crud for two weeks, missed a good part of the rut because of the persistent coughing. I am highly undermotivated to work in the shop when I am under the weather.
I finished draw filing the barrel yesterday, before I draw filed it it wouldn't go in the barrel channel, yesterday it dropped in with a perfect fit. I am going to fit the lolly pop tang this evening.
After deer season I crank up my projects, I have another gun to build and several bows.
