Working on the Ranger 45 stock again
JD got my interest in working on the stock again in some emails he has exchange with me and his Ranger that is arriving soon.
The stock that came wit my Ranger was a classic style walnut stock, nice wood, the style I like, but way too oversize. It reminded me of a NM 03A3 stock or a Supermatch M1A stock.
After a few months I had had enough and I carved a slight cheek piece in the stock and took off a little bulk and weight, but still had much more to go.
I have finished my USMC knife projects and that too had got my interest on reducing the weight of the Ranger stock.
Before with a couple fish I caught
After a few hours with the rasp.
And yes JD this stock had a belly in the but stock too, not anymore tho.
I figure I will have about a week in sanding this to get it to the size I want. I hate the style of air gun stocks made today, most of that stuff looks like something Hans Solo would be carrying.
The lead fish is two of the 65 lbs of pure lead fish ingots I got in today. I paid $1.20 per pound delivered.

Hey tofazfou,
I know one thing this hillbilly has learned. That’s to not were fag ass yellow cat suites and call them motorcycle gear. Also not to wear faggy pacs. Lol ur still my friend Ced even if i do eat lead fish. Btw my 257 hp mold is on the way soon
Just a test to see how pure it is. Crow send me a pm. I got lead and bullets.
Well I have 65 lbs of them, they were cast from plumbers lead. I am going to plant them in my lead pot to them.
BTW Tof, I saw a 4 cavity 257420 for sale today.

With RJ being such a redneck Hill Billy, he probably thinks if RC puts em in water overnight, they be swimming in the cup come morning.
Damn hillbillys never learn….lol
I am guessing to see if there is any discoloration to it? to see if there is anything other than Pure lead in it?
Dont know for sure
By the Way Rj
My gun should be here tomorrow! I need to order a mold handle and then be ordering some lead from you and some bullets too!
Nice stock work roach!
RJ wants to see if he can make bullet sinkers out of it?
Nah…
Fish? All I catch around here is hell! 😆
RC, that’s a nice straight line to the toe…nice.
JD
What does that do?
Hey RC,
Do me a favor and put one of those fish in a cup of water over night and take a pic of it tomorrow please.
Funny thing, I had never seen lead like this before. I give 2 bucks a pound delivered from Rotometals, but I have to chop the 6 lb blocks up to get them in the furnace. These weigh 11 oz.
While looking for a cast iron melting pot on Ebat, I saw the mold or one like it they came from.
I have the stock pretty much ground to shape, still sanding out file marks, and will be for a couple of days.

Nice job RC.
Nice fish too. I catch them around here myself, but mine look like corncobs for some reason. 😎

Mine HP .257 420 mold will be here tomorrow 😆
So will my 2 LBT mold I had custom made. Had him copy the Lyman but make it as pointed as possible.
Second is his airgun bullet design. Suppose to have minimal drag and beveled base. Can’t wait till I’m off on Friday to do some casting.
