Doan Trevor Custom Rifle Building

Extension rod for buttplate

Getting ready to Scribe Buttplate to fit Stock

This is a Remington Long Action with Sleeve.  I will do a write up on the action and the build when I finish the build.  I have just finished barreling the action. Fortunately I was able to find a barrel within a week.

A nice piece of Koa with the first coat of finish on it.

Yes, I did stick my finger with the chisel!

Machining offset scope bases for target shooters. I made the piece that goes on the scope rail on the rifle, and then I can cut the remaining pieces so that the offsets will fit the distance between the pupils of the eyes. The distance between the center of the eyeballs, even in the same person, are not the same. I have personally been shooting offset sights for three or four years now, and I find that it has improved my shooting.

Prepping the stock to be duplicated.  

Adjusting the split bearings on a reel lawn mower. True recall…. I was doing this 60 summers ago.

This stock blank has been around for a few years. Notice that this was before zip codes! This is a piece of curly Myrtle that will become a prone stock for a short range 52 rim fire.

This can be used with either two or three action screws so that a different action can be used in one stock.

Normally Fortner actions are used for Biathlon. The owner wanted this left-handed action.

Contouring the butt plate

Congratulations to Derek Rodgers for taking first place in the first-ever Sinclair International East Coast Fullbore Nationals (ECN) was held at Camp Butner (NC) on April 18-21, 2013.  Here is a link to the article written by Accurate Shooter .

Here are photos of his rifle as I was in the process of building it.

Cutting the slot for the thumbwheel

The goal was to create a lightweight stock for F/TR class shooting. The stock finishes at 3 lbs. 7 oz. The weight includes the adjustable buttplate, the adjustable cheek piece, trigger guard, action screws, bedding and bedding block, and front bipod attachment. With the action and heavy palma barrel it weighs 11 pounds.
