Doan Trevor Custom Rifle Building

Duplicating the owners stock to be used from his pattern for FTR class.

Note that I used some of the excess wood from the stock blank to make a 3 inch Foreend. I should have taken pictures of the narrow piece of wood but I didn’t. The laminated pieces match very well.

The owner of this rifle won a 20% discount certificate at the Firecracker Match.

Note the FTR rail for bipod and bottom ventilation. Extra wood was added for 3 inch fore end. The wood match came out quite well. Additional wood needs to be added to get the 3 inch Foreende because most of the blanks are 2 1/2 inches and matching the wood is a real problem, or you need to make a feature out of the matching pieces of wood.

A great shot of Derek and his dad, Stan, at the F class nationals in Phoenix. Here is a link showing the progress as I built the rifle for him. And here is  a link to the article on accurate shooter.com.

Separating the Cheekpiece

Bedding Block

Receiver sitting in Bedding Compound

Receiver out of bedding compound and stock.  The pillars are part of the bedding block, which eliminates stress from the wood.

Customer will use this stock for both Open F/Class and FTR.  The rail will be used for FTR.

Inlet for trigger guard

Pistol grip cap unfinished

Start of shadow line for rollover cheekpiece.  Note shadow line on both sides of stock, just a decorative touch.

He’s fine and back to work today!

Just received this goodwill wish from Scott Riles……..

It’s reported that Nancy Pelosi, has sued Wellington Hospital for malpractice, saying that  after her husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex.

A hospital spokesman replied: “Your husband was admitted for cataract surgery. All we did was correct his eyesight.”

Oh, oh…… I will keep you guys posted.  I’d better be careful!!  Wish him well!

This is a grip that I made for an Eliseo stock. Photos sent in by a customer. Note that I changed the angle on the thumb rest for him. Air Force colors on the stock.

Along with their certificates.  All of them won a certificate for 20% off a complete rifle or stock building from Doan Trevor.

I am duplicating two Stocks right now, one in Koa and the other is Mango. The koa stock will be a 22 rimfire for Bob Depasque. He’s doing really well and is ready to start shooting again. We’ve all missed him and are glad to see his return. This will be a great project.

1. The stock is in a low rider configuration. Note the rail. I have engineered it to make it possible to also use it as an FTR stock by changing the barrel.

Cutting 3 minute windage grooves in the front sight base

The pistol grip cap Is Ebony and purple heart wood.

In the number of years that I have been shooting, this is the worst firing point that I have ever used. You have to either double mat or bring in portable flooring because the gravel moves like ball bearings. Hopefully they won’t continue doing this on the rest of the firing points. And if you have a cart, it is hard to get over the concrete edges coming from the 900 yard firing line.

F open and F-TR was combined. Derek Rodgers shot F-TR and came in third.
