Had a cool build come through that I wanted to share. We took an old winchester on a wood stock and completely customized it with a new barrel, engraved in memory of the original owner. Did custom fluting and painting, custom painted the stock, threaded barrel and made it shoot really nice. These are always fun.

Thank you Derrick for posting this. This rifle means the world to me. My dad bought it brand new and when I was 11 or 12 he gave it to me for my deer rifle. He passed away in 95 and I have always wanted to build something and dedicate it to him. Well here it is. I really appreciate you Derrick for taking the project and making it just freaking awesome. You will always have my business.

Derrick, would you mind posting a close-up of the bolt? I'm looking for a knob for my M70. Thanks!

Beautiful and sentimental

Derrick, what coating do you use? Your guns always have a shine instead of flat. Looks great

I can't give away my secret peep we can do flat or any type of gloss, The ones with a little sheen have a little more pop.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
