my savage anshutz model 64r was my very first firearm ever ....got at age 16.
Here Is a picture of it as original...Attachment 283226
i took it apart 40 years ago for some reason (to reblue i think) all the parts are there kept in a tupperware
container.
the stock was re-finished and wrapped up in a bed blanket and kept indoors for decades.
so....i go to reassemble it and as i placed the barrel into the bed channel its still fit great ....except at the fore end of the stock
it has developed a left bend three inches from the end. it wasn't too bad but it still needed cut off and replaced as it touched the
barrel on the right but left a 1/4" gap on the left side.
so i made a ebony stock tip to fit the end and am now in the process of making the added wood look the same shape as the replaced piece.
sorry this i so long to get to the question....
the barrel channel from the receiver has a 7/8" rounded groove in it....all except the new piece at the end.
i've been looking for a 7/8" barrel bedding tool, and none were to be found.....
OR would i be better off to use a 3/4" bedding tool which i have found and use it to ever-so-lightly remove wood until i get to 7/8"?
does any of what i said make sense? thanks!
