Doan Trevor Custom Rifle Building

This now costs about $100 with tax & shipping. This can’t be shipped through California, even if it comes from someplace else. I ordered from a place in Nevada, but the road they took went through California.. so they couldn’t ship it to me.

These three picture are of my uncle L.L Doan, Chiang Kai Shek and Eisenhower. My uncle helped write the Peace Accord with General Wong (sitting to the left of Chaing Kai Shek). I believe the treaty was signed by both Mainland China and Taiwan. L.L. Doan was the Chief of Staff for Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG).

This is the clear coat I use on laminate stocks.

It’s now $100 for the 2 cans.

Finished this Myrtle stock with a Barnard action last week.

I added third action screw in the middle. Bonus picture of the Bike, it’s still up For Sale.

This is an extremely rare action. The action is very similar to a Winchester 52. This FTR stock is right hand, but the action is left handed. When complete it will be able to shoot from the bench.

This rife was also mentioned in American Rifleman January 1958.

Another beautiful piece of wood to work on.

This is the 3rd installment my 52C Winchester project.

Finally, the action and the stock has come together. There’s a scope rail that has to be made to fit on the action.

Soon, I’ll find scope and test this one out.

I put a moveable trigger shoe on a Wright Allen trigger. Also, made a feed ramp and made a recoil lug. The recoil lug on the original 52 Winchester sometimes isn’t deep enough to do the job properly. Here in lies the problem with this receiver. I added a middle action screw that screws into the feed ramp.

Updating Palma Rifle to shoot FTR.

Installed magnets in cheekpiece.

Made a rear slide to ride rear bag.

Her 2nd California Bear!

She won a California Bear.

I have new blanks in the shop. Take a look. There are 2 pictures of each blank.

#1-#3: These are Turkish Walnut

#4: This one is English Walnut

#5: This one is Koa

Worked on this stock last week. It’s chambered for a .223.

I’ve been working on another grip.

I finished this up on Christmas Morning before Clare and Jonathon arrived.

Pre-64 Winchesters require a magazine box to feed the ammo, therefore these take a little bit more work.

Happy New Years to all of you and your families.

This piece of wood was a bit of a challenge. The grain is absolutely stunning, but since it’s not straight sanding it made the wood “fray”. Totally worth it in the end!

It’s a V-Block for a Barnard.

Warner # 1 Sight Rear Sight: Low mileage, Excellent condition, comes with sunshade and rear aperture.

Scott Riles 22mm Front Sight: 3/4 inch barrel escutcheon, 4-6mm aperture, .5 diopter lens, excellent condition, front and rear sunshades.

Both together $950.00 + free shipping.

Call Doan to ask question or purchase.

First come, first serve.

Last week was the Spirit of America Math in Raton. It was a great time shooting and seeing everybody.

Back in February we rescued a puppy found in a barn. We named him Barney. He’s a very inquisitive and happy puppy.

Apparently, he’s my new shooting coach. Checking my shooting position and natural point of aim.
