This is a very unique action of the highest quality. It normally goes in a metal stock, but in this case I’m adapting it to a wood stock. I had to make a bedding block that matches the metal stock … Continue reading →

Here are some photos from the beginning of the build to finished. Also, I barreled this rifle with a Krieger 13 twist barrel.    

When these stocks hit the market in the 70’s they were much like platform shoes. All form and no function. Also, like platform shoes, they were tippy. I did a little redesigning to make it more functionable. I took the … Continue reading →

Sometimes, I get notes. Very specific notes.

Took a break from woodworking to do a bit of metal work. Made 7 pairs of offset scope mounts, these will fit Pickatinny and Weaver. Now available.

Bedding and fitting buttplate. Corrected pistol grip to match H&H pattern.  Finished 4-way buttplate. Today, putting on the finishing touches, making action screws and remembering to take final pictures.
