IGS files into CW software?

And I have been wanting to learn to play the violin and guitar, so I can justify buying one of your's...

Okay, enough of the hijack. That is a much better image. Had never heard of the Anschutz model until now. Not really a gun guy.

Always happy to be claimed! I do my best to give cnsranch a hard time--easy since he's my "Pa!"

I figure if we ever get this rifle stock carving thing worked out, we could take them and your innovative "buggy signs" to the wood shows and literally be hundredaires by Christmas!

I can see the swanky evening soirees now--except instead of Champagne and caviar, we'll be serving homebrew and pond-raised catfish!

That's why the name was so similar that I thought cnsranch was emailing me to get him access to the forum. Had me there...

What is the pulley wheel in the stock used for? (see back section below the raised part of stock)

?????? Hmmm I thought we where talking about rife stocks and STL's. In fact Joe's dad was asking me to locate one for him and i to work on, and If your saying that i am hijacking this tread thats cool good luck on you gun.

eelamb, that's a knurled metal wheel that, when turned, raises and lowers the comb (raised part on the stock). It allows adjustment to fit the shooter's cheek and allow proper alignment with the sighting device.

I'm still working with the one CAD package to which I have access that will allow opening the IGS file; just trying to get a gradient image per PCW's suggestion.

Liquidguitars, I've been a fan of your work for the several years I've been lurking on the site. I'll keep my eyes open for Kentucky Rifle plans.

Thank you sir.

Rhino should give you options to save as or export as a bitmap.. (tif or bmp file). bmp file will import in designer software but the tif will need to be converted to a file format that the CW will accept without the optional CW software. A PNG or BMP format would be the best choice suited for a import into the designer software.

Your dads a hoot.

No No...

I was the hijack, not you. You were on topic, I was off...

If you are planning to carve this stock, here is the top view pattern.

May as well add both the side and top on one post.
