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 … Continue reading →

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 … Continue reading →

Updating Palma Rifle to shoot FTR. Installed magnets in cheekpiece. Made a rear slide to ride rear bag.

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

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.
