F-Class Rifle ~ Curly Maple

This was such a nice piece of curly maple, but the original piece of wood wasn’t sufficiently wide enough to meet the 3″ fore-end width for F-Class.  I decided to build it up with some contrasting walnut.  A real challenge.

Rush Limbaugh’s Letter to President Obama

This open letter took me back to my childhood and I recalled that my mother and father started the Little Schoolhouse in Sharon, CT for William F. Buckley Sr. and later went on to teach at Millbrook School for Boys. What is lacking in society now is the teaching of individual responsibility.

Bedding Block and Recoil Lug ~ Barnard F-Class Rifle

Typically, the Barnard action is bedded with either a round screw in the center of the action, or a square bedding block in the middle screw on the action.  Since this is an F-Class rifle with a heavy barrel, I made a recoil lug to fit the slot in the bottom of the action so that I could use the middle screw as another action screw.  I also enlarged the length of the bedding block.

F-Class Stock

This is an exhibition grade piece of fiddleback maple.  The blank was too narrow to make the 3″ width necessary for the fore end, so I am inlaying walnut strips to bring it up to the proper width.  I’ll put a matching pistol grip cap on it and carve in a right hand pistol grip.

If this passes, there will be war!

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
Thomas Jefferson


Obama Finds Legal Way Around The 2nd Amendment and Uses It.

If This Passes, There Will Be WAR!

The Full Article Here

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015

On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.

This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary,  so will gun control.

Read the Article.  U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush’s administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

Restoring a Perazzi Stock

Perazzi_MG_9426

One of the things that I feel is very important when working on restorations is to maintain the look of the original finish and checkering.

Perazzi is a manufacturer of precision shotguns from BresciaItaly.[1] The company sells hunting and sporting models of shotguns in the over-and-under and side-by-side varieties. The manufacturer is noted for their removable trigger groups, high quality, and high prices (7,500 USD to 440,000 USD). The founder of Perazzi is Daniele Perazzi. The Perazzi family owns and operates the company. The company sells American Trap, American Skeet, Olympic and Doubles Trap, Olympic Skeet, Pigeon and Sporting models.

Perazzi shotguns are widely used by Olympic competitors, including Kim Rhode, who won a gold medal in Atlanta in 1996 and another gold in Athens in 2004.[2] Rhode uses a Perazzi 12-gauge (model MX12) for competition.[3]
