Doan Trevor Custom Rifle Building

While working on the cheekpiece many burls (flowers) were revealed. Also, did some lightening on the forend, so that a heavier barrel could be used in the future.

The trigger shoe on the original Kenyon triggers do not fit well when 52’s are put into different stocks. The only solution is to add a trigger shoe that can be adjusted for different positions. To do this the trigger needs to be disassembled and modified by adding the adjustable shoe while leaving the original heat treated areas intact.

The 31 has a long tang And a long tang on the trigger guard. I found a Cloward Dunlap pattern that would fit

You are not seeing double.  These are two stocks that are supposed to be as identical as I could get them…… one is for midrange and the other is long range.  When I got done I thought I had double vision.  These are Stolle Panda F Class actions.  Inletting customized for hand position and specialized bedding.

Started this stock for a Borden Rimrock Action.

I mistakenly called this stock a graft wood stock. It’s not. It’s a piece of Burl that leads into English Walnut.

Note that there are 3 action screws. The middle screw works like a recoil lug. This is a very precision way do do this.

Here are some pictures of the finished piece.

Here are the final pictures of this rifle. Hart Barrel. 6mm BR Improved.

In order to make some stocks wide enough (it’s getting harder to find 3″ wide wood for stocks) I need to get creative. Here, I have laminated a piece of English Walnut to either side of the fore-end of this grafted English and Claro Walnut.

This is a Sako Action imbedded in an English Walnut Stock. This is for Open F-Class Mid-Range. This is low profile. Due to the width of the stock, to widened it, I laminated a piece to either side and put runners on the bottom. It’s in a 6BR Improved.

I’ll be working on the trigger guard and finish in the next coming days.

We’ve added even more stuff!

Here are the finished photos. This is a English Walnut Stock fitted with a Walther KK 500 using a bedding block.  I did a lot of machining to make it all mesh together. Once I get it in the wood stock I needed to make a trigger extension. Also, the trigger needed to be dropped down to get the trigger extension to the right height for the pistol grip.

Just added new items:

Final inletting for trigger, bedding screw escutcheons, trigger guard and trigger extension.

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 and that would adapt to the wood.  I got busy making the bedding block and didn’t take any pictures. I will be inletting for the rail and trigger guard and will be making a trigger extension shortly.

This isn’t the first one I’ve done. Here’s a link to a KK500 Action in a Koa stock: CLICK HERE

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 fish belly off the bottom of forend and redid the the bottom of the pillars. Because the pistol grips on these stocks were relatively small, I bonded 3 pieces of wood to the bottom. The customer saw a cheek piece set-up from a few posts ago and requested that I duplicate for this stock. I, also, rebarreled this rifle.

All in All, I took this rifle from 1975 to 2018.

In the first two pictures you can see how I modified the template.

Second picture shows the blank clamped together.

Third shows duplication.

Fourth, fifth and six shows the modified blank.

One of them shows the bedding of the model 70.

The final 3 show the finished product.

This modification will let a shooter with an extremely short length of pull shoot comfortable. It prevents the shooters head from falling into the gap.

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 for proper fit and so that they would look similar. On the F/TR stock I modified it to have a vertically adjustable cheekpiece by putting a thumbscrew in.  This latest F/TR stock from McMillan was extremely straight, precise and a pleasure to work with.

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 shot this rifle.

Scope is include. It is a 2 inch 15x Unertl.

Rifle and scope condition are good to excellent.  Contact me for pricing.
