Doan Trevor Custom Rifle Building

Another beautiful piece of wood to work on.

This is the 3rd installment my 52C Winchester project.

Finally, the action and the stock has come together. There’s a scope rail that has to be made to fit on the action.

Soon, I’ll find scope and test this one out.

I put a moveable trigger shoe on a Wright Allen trigger. Also, made a feed ramp and made a recoil lug. The recoil lug on the original 52 Winchester sometimes isn’t deep enough to do the job properly. Here in lies the problem with this receiver. I added a middle action screw that screws into the feed ramp.

Updating Palma Rifle to shoot FTR.

Installed magnets in cheekpiece.

Made a rear slide to ride rear bag.

Her 2nd California Bear!

She won a California Bear.

I have new blanks in the shop. Take a look. There are 2 pictures of each blank.

#1-#3: These are Turkish Walnut

#4: This one is English Walnut

#5: This one is Koa

Worked on this stock last week. It’s chambered for a .223.

I’ve been working on another grip.

I finished this up on Christmas Morning before Clare and Jonathon arrived.

Pre-64 Winchesters require a magazine box to feed the ammo, therefore these take a little bit more work.

Happy New Years to all of you and your families.

This piece of wood was a bit of a challenge. The grain is absolutely stunning, but since it’s not straight sanding it made the wood “fray”. Totally worth it in the end!

It’s a V-Block for a Barnard.

Back in February we rescued a puppy found in a barn. We named him Barney. He’s a very inquisitive and happy puppy.

Apparently, he’s my new shooting coach. Checking my shooting position and natural point of aim.

He won the Idaho Challenge Shield.

I changed gears and worked on a non-target rifle.

Someone I’ve know for 20+ years had an Enfield P action and no stock. The Enfield has a rather large action due to the trigger and magazine box, so I modified the stock from a Winchester Pre-64 scope stock.

This rifle is chamber with .338/06.

God Bless, Sergeant York.

Luke walked down the street to let me know that he used one of the rifles that I worked on.

Congratulations on a job well done!

This is a piece of Claro Walnut with a lot of fiddleback for a Barnard Action. This will be used for long range with a sling.

This is fiddleback through and through… stem to stern.
