Rare Bullard .22 Rimfire Rifle

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Doantrevor

This is a small frame Bullard, one of the earliest serial numbers in existence. It arrived with no stock and no forend. I’ve been researching this particular model, however there is not much info available. As you can see, this is a straight stock on the pictures, and the the one to be worked on has a pistol grip.

37 Remington English Walnut Rifle Stock

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Doantrevor

A new life for a 37 Remington.  This is interesting  because it has a CP Hart barrel and a Kenyon trigger.  Should be a nice prone rifle.

1873 Winchester Rifle Forend and Stock Replacement / Restoration

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Sue

This was a fun job and a change from target shooting, but the challenge was to replace the stock and forend and keep the authenticity and patina of a gun that is over a hundred years old.  Too shiny is not good and I feel that if the work doesn’t stand out, it’s a good job in this case.

3 Nice Rifle Stock Blanks ~ Koa and Walnut

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Sue

Claro Walnut Stock

 

Claro Walnut

The wood of J. hindsii is commonly called claro walnut by the lumber industry and woodworkers.[5] It is highly figured with a rich brown color and striking grain patterns, especially in the crotch areas, where large limbs meet the trunk.[6]It is used in small quantities to make fine furniture and gun stocks, and sold as slabs to make large natural-top tables because of its durability, good working properties and swirling, iridescent figure.

Some confusion exists about the nature of claro walnut because J. hindsii is commonly used as the rootstock of orchard trees. The section below the original graft is claro walnut wood, while the section above is the lighter-colored English walnut. Some woodworkers have even taken advantage of this by making the change in color of the wood a feature of their work.

KOA

Acacia koa is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands,[1] where it is the second most common tree.[2] The highest populations are on Hawaiʻi, Maui and Oʻahu. Its name in theHawaiian language, koa, also means brave, bold, fearless, or warrior.[3]
