Mango Blanks Just in from Hawaii

These will need to dry for some time before I can work with them. One of the blanks has quite a bit of fiddleback, And the other blank has a nice speckling. If you are looking for something different, all of these will make a unique custom stock.

Pattern for Duplicating Open F-Class Rifle Stock

Lately there have been requests for an F class open stock. I have created a pattern for my duplicating machine. One of the unique things on the stock is that the rear slider is relieved so it does not drag on the bags.

Barnard Action Being Fitted I Anschutz Thumbhole Stock

This project was a challenge. I was sent a thumbhole stock and need to put a length of pull adjustment from 12.5″ to 14″ and needed fit pieces on the rear wood, because of the sizes of the hardware. I had to redesign the buttplate to use the Anschutz buttplate and the cheek riser. The size the action is conciderably larger than the orginal Anschutz. This also involved making a trigger guard to adapt to the Barnard trigger. This project reminded me of when put a 327 Corvette motor into a 100/6 Austin Healy.

Light Weight Prototype F-class F/TR using spruce

I started this project three or four months ago, planning to develop a rifle stock that can be used for prone shooting and F-TR and still have rigidity in the stock. Some stocks are not as rigid as they should be for F-TR. There is a fine balance between making a stock light enough to use a heavy barrel and having it be strong enough. By using a lighter wood stock material like spruce, I could keep the full size of the stock, and maintain the rigidity. Including buttplate and cheek adjuster, it is 3 1/2 pounds, and probably with some adjustments I could get it under 3 pounds.

Turning a 5/16 inch into a quarter inch action screw

The problem is when using the standard button head screw The Allen socket will strip out. By using a 5/16 inch button head screw, you can use a 3/16 inch Allen wrench. I have to turn them down and rethread them to 1/4-28 tpi.
