Eh, it fits but not pretty atm. I'm gonna fill a lot of the open space with JB weld (... not with the action in the stock dumb ass) as plain filler before I move to glass bed it after I get seated where I want. After that I have to figure out a way to make a scope mount for it. I will probably have to build it from the ground up tho, since it's a gen 2 and still uses the side mounted Irons / optics and the old man who use to make them has since stopped. I will see about getting a photo here in a bit, but warning my camera is potato tier

It's not hard at all. Look up kydex press videos on YouTube. The vast majority are simple to make and use. You mainly need a heat gun or toaster, some dense foam, and either two equal sized wood planks or a welded metal frame.
I made one using two pieces of junk wood, dense foam mats from harbor freight and two grip clips from harbor freight and OT works excellent for minor tasks like knife sheaths. I'll attach a picture later to show how retarded simple it is.
For larger things like gun holsters, order some more professional foam off of the internet such as Amazon or various kydex working websites. As for the kydex you use, again I use amazing, but mainly .60-.80 inch thick kydex is best for knives and .80 and up is better for firearms due to shape retention.
Hope this helped, and ask any other questions, even though I'm a bit novice.

We had a talented tripfag named TommyThyroid that made good holsters and sheathes

Good God fuck no don't summon him.
>>30210531
why not? I'm sure he'd have some great insights from all his time doing his craft
>>30210281
Can you please link me to the foam mats you used or suggest?
Thanks

The one I used was http://m.harborfreight.com/anti-fatigue-roll-mat-61241.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided, because I'm a bit cheap and only do knife work so far.

Is what I nearly got from Amazon and would recommend for guns/higher order work.
