i like my stock with a 14 1/2" length of pull, a 3/4" drop at heel and a 3/4" drop at comb. this would be more common for an assault rifle such as an FAL than a sniper.

You can do it fairly easy with image editing software.
Crop the side view in such a way that the ends of the image are the muzzle and butt end of the rifle, resize the width of the image to the actual length of the rifle then print it out in its actual size. Tape the resulting sheets together and you have a full size template of the rifle.

But seriously, go up to a mirror, hold an imaginary gun as you would want to hold the finished product. Then get a friend, or use your other hand with a ruler and roughly gauge the distances. Then if you feel the need, cut the stock out of some ply wood as a template, adjust it as you feel the need, then you have a template for the stock.

Au contraire, they're for the patient who get on with the job instead of waiting for everything to be spoon fed to them

i went with the ruler and calculator method and made myself a nice cardboard template. also do you think a 1/4" qev would have good enough flow for a 6mm barrel? 1/4" is around 6mm isn't it so maybe i would have to have a 1/2" qev?

I think it doesn't work on his PCMaxuS wrote:About time you learnt how to use GGDT.
I don't know the details of your QEV so can't really model it.

A rough estimate with a 0.20 gram BB gives you around 750 feet per second.
A small tip - cutting the chamber length to 20cm and increasing the pressure to 300 psi gives you around 810 feet per second.
Lengthening the barrel to 90cm gives around 860 feet per second with your original setup and around 920 feet per second with the suggested shorter chamber and higher pressure. Just a thought
