European Walnut Smallbore Rifle

Doan — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 23:17:41 +0000

I am converting this rifle stock from left handed to right handed. This was a Clifford Pierson stock for an Anschutz rifle. I’ve added the pistol grip cap to lengthen the pistol grip so that the hand will be more in line with the trigger and reshaped the pistol grip on the right side. I’ve also pillar bedded the stock. The new cheekpiece is Koa and the pistol grip cap is English Walnut.
I was sorry to hear about the passing of Karl Kenyon. The action is one that Karl worked on a few years ago. Coincidentally, I finished this the same day that he died. He will be missed in the smallbore world.

This is a Karl Kenyon action. I am not sure how many he made. I am hoping to have this completed for the Made in America Match at Camp Perry July 24th through 28th.

Gustin Canted Rifle Stock Preparation for Duplicating

Due to the shape and configuration of the stock, another piece of wood needed to be laminated to the blank. Steve McGee supplied the original blank.

English Walnut Pistol Grips

Doan — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 16:35:26 +0000

To be used on one of Gary Eliseo’s Tube Guns. These are some of the leftover pieces that I glued together from the 52 Sporter. The owner was interested to see if I could make some matching grips for his tube guns. Since they cannot be put through the duplicator, they will be hand carved.

Why a Custom Rifle Stock is so Expensive

I’ve been drying this blank for over a year and a few days ago I cut it to rough shape. After it was cut, it started ‘checking’. You just never know when this will happen, and it can ruin a beautiful piece of wood.

“Checking, the separation of continuous wood fibers, is a naturally occurring consequence of the seasoning process of wood. The outer fibers lose moisture to the surrounding atmosphere and attempt to shrink, but the inner portion of the timber member loses moisture at a much slower rate. The different rates of shrinkage can cause the wood to check or split. Rapid drying increases the differential moisture content between the inner and outer fibers and thus increases the propensity for checking in the timber. The checking (and shrinkage) process will stabilize as the moisture content of the member reaches equilibrium with the surrounding environmental conditions.”

Checking the fit of the bedding block in the stock. The bedding block will also add rigidity to the stock.
