This machine is really handy to fix recoil lugs that have been overtightened, and also truing parts that need grinding. This is part of the equipment that was once owned by George Mitchell (Mitchell movie camera and Panavision).

Bedding Block and Recoil Lug ~ Barnard F-Class Rifle

January 27, 2010

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.

F-Class Stock

January 8, 2010

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.
