Shaping the Buttstock Making a Military Rifle Stock Part 5

In my series on making a military rifle stock from scratch, the stock blank is finally beginning to look like a stock, at least the back half of it is. I round the sharp corners off of the buttstock and shape it to closely match the original stock. The metal parts, the buttplate, rear tang, trigger guard and sling swivel are already fit to the stock, but in this video the wood is then fit flush to them. I will be repeating this process for the front end of the stock in the next video.
