Recoil Pad 2
Installation of the recoil pad continued.
The center line of the stock is marked and one of the hole locations is marked and center punched for drilling.
Here the top hole is drilled. From here a jig will be used to identify the location of the bottom hole and hold everything during the gluing operation.
The second hole has been marked and drilled and everything is fit checked prior to gluing. The aluminum piece is a jig that I made to hold everything in place. The jig has the same hole spacing as the recoil pad. This will insure that everything lines up after bonding. Sorry about the blurry picture.
Epoxy has been applied and the jig assembly is taped down to hold everything in place while the glue cures.
Here is a shot of the brass spacers bonded in ready to accept the recoil pad. Finish has been applied to seal the end grain.
