I wonder if any of you have an easy surefire method for correctly aligning the stock bolt hole orientation in a new stock blank ?
Done wrongly it can result in a scrapped piece of expensive wood .
As an example I just looked at a Perazzi stock , a hole drilled/bored 12" through the stock , at the butt end there is a hole 3/4" diameter to accomodate bolt head socket , this is 6" deep so the next 6" of depth is 3/8" diameter to accomodate a 1/4" or 6mm stock bolt .
The Butt end is 5" depth and the 3/4" hole is bored 2&3/4" from the toe of the stock & 2&1/4" from the heel . The bolt protrudes through the stock hole at the head by about 1" down from the comb .
NOW ! How do they do that ? With a jig ? A prayer ?
It would be nice to hear from an expert stocker on what method they use .
Thank you all.
