Buttplates

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Doantrevor

These are the lower legs for smallbore buttplates that I started today.  These will adapt to the highpower buttplates on the longrange rifles.

52 Winchester for the Made in America Smallbore Match

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Doantrevor

This is the final fitting before finishing of all the aluminum parts and the wood. This rifle will be used at Camp Perry for the Made in America Match at the Smallbore match this summer. The stock is a piece of all Fiddleback Walnut from front to rear – an exceptional piece of wood. The darker areas are rubbed with a bit of alcohol to show the grain and what the final finish will look like. The pistol grip is made in America – it is a piece of curly Hawaiian Koa. The trigger guard is reclaimed Winchester. Right now it’s in a holding pattern to see if we’ll put vents in it.

Revised Anschutz Adjustable Buttplate – In process

Posted on February 7, 2011 by Doantrevor

I tried to purchase a new buttplate like this, but it became a daunting task…… too difficult, too proud, and too expensive.  I decided to make one.  This is half done and will be refined.  The red color that you see is It will adapt to one of my adjustable butt plates.

“STEEL RED Layout Fluid
Machine shop operators depend on Dykem® Layout Fluids to scribe sharp, clear, precise lines. When applied, our layout fluids provide a uniform deep color that prevents glare and dries in minutes. All Dykem®Layout Fluids create an extremely thin film which adds practically no thickness to the work piece and remains flexible without cracking and chipping.”
