The stippling on the forend has been done with the same stippling that is on the grips (no border). It is quite plain and utilitarian. The original forend was missing, and the owner wanted a new one with a Schnabel.

This is a right hand stock with a left handed action.

Typically, the Barnard action is bedded with either a round screw in the center of the action, or a square bedding block in the middle screw on the action. Since this is an F-Class rifle with a heavy barrel, I made a recoil lug to fit the slot in the bottom of the action so that I could use the middle screw as another action screw. I also enlarged the length of the bedding block.

This is an exhibition grade piece of fiddleback maple. The blank was too narrow to make the 3″ width necessary for the fore end, so I am inlaying walnut strips to bring it up to the proper width. I’ll put a matching pistol grip cap on it and carve in a right hand pistol grip.
