Hey all, I am hearing up for a new rifle build. It is a TVM Tennessee kit and I have a few questions regarding shaping the stock.
First, how is a TN rifle upper forend usually shaped? Is it typically shaped in a V or a U?
Is the lower forend usually round, as with the wrist?
Also, the areas parallel to the tang, when they transition, is it more appropriate to have them just swoop down and blend with the rails on the forearm, or scallop it so that it blends smoothly into the contour of the barrel.
I will not be including a nosecap on this build, would it be most appropriate to shape it as if there was a nosecap there, or what? What say ye? Pictures of various examples are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! :thumbsup:
