Congratulations to Trudie Faye for winning the Rocky Mountain Palma match in Raton last week and also to Jim Gaines for winning the Santa Fe trails long range match. They were both shooting Doan Trevor custom rifles.

Bedding and stocking progress

I am duplicating two left-hand prone rifle stocks. One stock is myrtle wood, the other one is a laminate with exhibition grade Koa wood with the inside piece black walnut. These can be used either for prone shooting or 3P, … Continue reading →

Krieger barrel 13 twist.  Very close to a new barrel.  Barely used.  Remington long action with sleeve.  New Pacific Tool and Gauge bolt and firing pin.  Doan Trevor stock with adjustable cheekpiece and buttplate.  This is from my personal collection. … Continue reading →

Sometimes, I get notes. Very specific notes.

Condition is 97% or better.  Barely handled and still retains the original satin finish.  27-3/4″ barrel with modified choke.  $600 plus shipping.

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.

This stock was easy to work with. Straight. And very pretty wood. Moved the action back half an inch to give the owner better trigger position. Also reduced the overall length of pull half an inch. Hand filed and fitted … Continue reading →

Here are the final pictures. The cheekpiece has cast-on and cast-off adjusts in it.

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.  

Congratulations to Ron for winning the Rocky Mountain State Regional yesterday, using a Doan Trevor built rifle.  The original stock was repaired back in 2015.  Three weeks ago I re-barreled it with a HART BARREL that Ron had won at … Continue reading →

Received this piece of outstanding of English Walnut. That wasn’t quite big enough, so I split it down the middle and added a center section. Hand carved it into a Bench Rest stock, because I don’t have a duplicator pattern.

Here’s my current project. I had this stock sent to me.  I’m installing an adjustable cheekpiece. Note the gap at the end of the cheekpiece, it’s there so you can adjust for heel-toe, cast off and cast on. Will be … Continue reading →

I’ve done the sanding, applied the finish and inserted the emblem. Still have a little bit of fine tuning on the stock. Next step barreling and adding the action.

Hey Y’all! Just a reminder that there’s only 2 days and 22 hours left on some pretty swell rifles. CLICK HERE!!! If you have any questions, ask away. Thanks! Doan

Work progresses. Did more on the adjustable cheekpiece, buttplate, rail and bedding.

Here are some in progress photo of the new Under 25 Palma Team Raffle Rifle. Go USA!

Clare here…. Dad took another one apart. Can someone please tell who this belongs to? I really hope there are no parts leftover when he gets it all back together. Seriously, I need to know who’s rifle this is….. 😉

This rifle is going to be used for position shooting. Made a front adjustable hand rest. 

Here’s a different grip! The owner wanted an exotic piece of wood. This means it is shaped it out all by hand. From block to grip.

Built a few more parts and started on the off-hand hand rest. 

I’ve been tasked with the mission to put a Walther KK500 barreled action into a Koa Stock. The action is mainly designed to be used with metal stocks. Big Thanks to Earl at Earl’s Repair (card below). He was a … Continue reading →

Here are some pictures of the finished rifle. Will be working on a interesting smallbore rifle in the next week or two. Stay Tuned!

This is a new build. This stock could be used for either sling or F-TR. These next two photos show me aligning the from the action screws to cut the rear slider.
