Cutting
Finger Grooves In
Stinger Stocks


By T/C Dave


Cutting finger grooves into a Stinger stock is not that hard, it does require a couple of tools, and some practice.
You will need a ½” round wood rasp, the type I use comes from Lowes . It is the hollow tube type
You will also need a Dremal rotary tool with a ½” drum sander attachment and a 80 grit drum. I also use a flex attachment on mine. A word of CAUTION, if you have not used a Dremal with the drum sander, practice with it before trying this on a stock set.


I steady the stock while using the rasp by setting on it in a padded chair. Using the ½” wood rasp I will start my first cut in the front of the grip near the bottom of the thumb hole on the exit side of the stock. Picture shows the location.


Next, grip the grip to determine location for the next two cuts. You will have to turn the stock over and work the cuts from both sides. Picture included to show what the grip should look like after the three cuts are made.


For this next step you will need a Dremal or Rotary tool with a ½” drum sander and 80 grit drum. My Dremal is a variable speed model and I run it at ½ speed. If you have not done this, it is best to practice, because it can get away from you. Holding the stock in my hand I will slowly remove the wood from between the three cuts with the Dremal until I get the shape I want.
