Fiddleback American Walnut FTR Stock for a Stiller TAK 30 Action

Posted on June 9, 2021 by Doan

This action has the same footprint as a Remington. I made the bedding block, so that the two action can be used interchangeably.

This rifle can be used with a sling or as a FTR rifle.

Rosewood Grips for Eliseo / AR15’s / Tubb Rifles

Posted on May 21, 2021 by Doan

This grip was made from a block of Dalbergia Maritima. It is extreme dense, but easy to cut on the band saw. Works well with a #50 wood rasp and files. It’s sands well, but the dust sticks to everything and stains your hands. When finished with a satin finished it reminds me of a plum.

I’ve changed the design to incorporate a “grip” area for a straight up hand position, still allowing for thumb place on the other side of the grip.

Left Handed American Walnut Stock for a Walthers KK 500

Posted on November 20, 2020 by Doan

This action has been really fun to work on. I think I’ve done 5 of these KK500 retrofits. Seeings how this action is meant to go in a metal stock, there’s quite a few modifications and measurements needed to make the conversion for a wood stock. This includes making a bedding block from aluminum and Delrin.

If I were starting over in the Smallbore world, I’d get this action… instead of my old model 37 with a Wright Allen trigger.

Had to open up the bolt face to fit a .308 case. Also, change the angle on the extractor to fit over the case. Came up with a firing pin spring. Also made a scope rail and a recoil system that is integrated into the bedding and the middle screw.
