Kept busy today working on this Palma rifle. It’s been a bit of a wait to work with this wood. I received a shipment of it from a fellow Palma shooter awhile ago. I’ve been patiently letting cure and dry. … Continue reading →

I took final picture of something!!!! Here’s the whole project finished put back together.

I had a request to replace the original sporter stock with a Schutzen stock and palm rests. Will posted finished picture soon.

I decided to put a bedding block that looks pillar bedding once it is completed.

Took pictures of the companion stock that I finished (on my birthday this Summer). Owner loved the previous pistol grip.. I replicated it on the companion stock. (Apparently, Doan likes to take selfies in reflection of things. :D)

The owner of THIS STOCK wanted a matching stock for his F-Class rifle. The movie below shows me finding the center line on a stock.  

I made a 3″ adjustable front slider, then milled a rear slider onto the stock. Tried to match new sliders finish to the original CZ finish. The large piece of aluminum is used to align the rear slider.

The wife of the owner of this updated stock was nice enough to graciously send me photos of the finished product. 🙂

I had someone come to me that liked their current stock.. and wanted it to have an adjustable cheekpiece. So, I went to work. The photos below show what is really inside this older stock. I refilled the stock in … Continue reading →

Here’s the final stock. It has adjustable cheekpiece and buttplate. Pistol grip cap is a mix of bloodwood and ebony.

Recently, duplicated this Claro Walnut Stock. Its new owner has requested a Barnard Action be dropped into it. Made the bedding block to do this. It will have an adjust cheekpiece and an adjustable buttplate.

Congratulations, My Friend! You did it again! I have had the privilege of building Trudie’s rifles for the last few years.

I have had this stock in my collection for awhile. I was contacted by someone who wanted to know if his Rebel Defiance Drop Port Action would fit. He was looking for Koa and I remember that I had this stock … Continue reading →

Here we have an example of a polished action. in order to match the action, I polished the rest of the metalwork on this rifle.

A client asked me to customize a stock for him. He sent me a stock that he had and liked and a fiddleback maple & walnut blank that he had previous found. I put them in the duplicator and the … Continue reading →

The 2 pictures of the back of the stock show the prism effect of the curly maple.

Cutting a pillar to mate with the Savage action.

This is just waiting for its new owner to come and get it.  

This is using a bedding block that I make.  

I’ve post a bunch of barrels and items on Accurate Shooter Forum. You can find my profile and look under postings here: My Profile.

Another Grip finished. These grips can be custom made for your hand. They can be made to fit a AR-15, AR1-10, Eliseo’s and other metal stocks. Got a little head of myself and sent off the finished grip without finally … Continue reading →
