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 →

I’ve completed the bedding job on these two rifles for Derek.  The F Class stock was modified by McMillan to shoot F/TR.  The F/TR stock was modified with a monorail by McMillan.  I did minor modifications to the two stocks … Continue reading →

This is a Clifford Pierson left handed small bore rifle built in the late 1950’s. He set National Records with this rifle.  And excellent piece of Americana. Clifford Pierson was a very notable smallbore shooter and rifle builder. Larry Moore … Continue reading →

This stock had an adjustable cheekpiece with 2 grub screws to hold it in position. I added a thumb screw and a threaded rod so that the cheekpiece could be adjusted without falling to the bottom and losing all adjustment. … Continue reading →

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 →

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.
