FTR Build Project by Robert Fortier PART 2

FTR Build Project by Robert Fortier PART 2

For those who have enjoyed following the work of Robert Fortier and his stock building, here are more pics as he completes the shaping and finishing of the stock. In the first installment, we stopped at the inletting stage.  Now the fun and messy stuff –  shaping and sanding. First step, put on the outline of the shape you want.. really it is a point of reference as you will modify the shape as you shape and sand for that perfect custom fit. Given that the stock is wood, any type of power sander can be used to quickly remove the bulk of the wood to closer to the pattern you want.  You will be making ALOT of dust so some way to contain and extract is a good idea.  I work outside and leave the sawdust on the lawn For me, this is the most fun part of making a stock.  Removing all the bulk material to reveal what you want underneath.  Let your artistic feelings go… as well as what feels comfy to you.  Odds are the stock that fits you will not look like a commercial stock.   I pay alot of attention in the grip and trigger area.  Good trigger control is critical to accurate fire. Also, in the comb and getting the perfect eye to scope alignment with a comfy cheek weld. Like shoes, one size does not fit all. NOTE:  the buttstock bottom has an angle to it.  This is ideal when using the MPOD so you can make your fine elevation adjustments by simply sliding the stock fore and aft in the rear...
PGW 338 Lapua Timberwolf Excels with an MPOD

PGW 338 Lapua Timberwolf Excels with an MPOD

  Hello Jerry, Here are some more pics of the PGW .338 Timberwolf as well as my PGW .308 Coyote. Noticed something, the .308 Coyote is missing your MPOD. Let’s work on that…..haha The .338 Timberwolf is my very prized addition to my collection. It’s perfomance is outstanding for all distances. For ammo, I use my hand loads of 225g Nosler AccuBond bullets, Lapua Mag Brass, Match primers and Hodgdon1000 Powder. Although PGW recommends the use 250g. bullet, they are hard to get. In result, with .225g. I can achieve smaller then 1inch group at 300m. The rifle performs very well under all weather conditions. Easy to handle and fun to use. This combination with your MPOD provides enormous amount of stability and control while performing in adverse conditions. I think this is a winning combination of true balance between the rifle and the MPOD. I strongly recommend your MPOD for use with any rifle. It is light, strong and durable and well balanced. Hopefully in the near future my .308 Coyote will also have the use of your MPOD. Thank you for your support Enjoy the pics Sebastian B Those are some fine looking rifles.  I am very pleased that the MPOD is serving you well and obviously, shooting some very tight groups.  I hope you get the rail for your Coyote.  Now you put the MPOD on either rifle.   Continued success… Enjoy and Thanks for sharing....
Tikka T3 Tac Rifle from the Neatherlands

Tikka T3 Tac Rifle from the Neatherlands

Here is another really cool Tactical rifle based on the Tikka T3 Tac.  Some very interesting parts we don’t commonly see in the Canadian market.         Hi Jerry, The MPOD arrived on 26 december. I’ve been putting in some handy work to put some threaded sleeves in the forend and attach the rail with two metric allen screws. See the result in the attached pictures. My set up is as follows: Tikka T3 TAC in .308W (basically only the 24” barrel, short action and trigger assembly); Roedale Precision M18x1 threaded muzzle break; GRS laminated wood long range stock; Konuspro M30 8.5-32×52 scope And… a Mystic Precision MPOD I expect to enjoy shooting it again in January, and will let you know how it goes. If all’s well, I will put out a positive review on the “vuurwapens.net” forum in The Netherlands. Just one quick question that came to mind – the ski’s are smooth on the underside. I am shooting from a flat concrete floor. Would glueing on some rubber pads be advisable? [Told to put a piece of thick nap carpet under the feet and things will track superbly] Thanks again for the fast service!...
