Doan Trevor Custom Rifle Building

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.

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. I also lengthened the 2 pillars. On older fiberglass stocks this is a needed update.

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, 3 position shooting. The Koa stock is sold, but the myrtle stock will be available for sale.

The Koa stock will be inletted for a Turbo 2 Action.

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. $1900 plus shipping.

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 the buttplate to the rear of the stock.
