Very nice work!

I currently have four rifles undergoing restocking. I am almost finished with a walnut classic stock for a 10-22. I've shortened the fore end to achieve a more balanced look with the short bull barrel. I also am working on a walnut stock for my 788, that one is barely underway. Another is a raw Interarms walnut stock for one of my 98s in .280 and I haven't really started it. I am going to finish up a refurb on an old B &C fiberglass stock on an Interarms 98 in 6mm-284. It's slow going. Wish I had the confidence to tackle checkering!

The cost for one of the break action single shots starts at 8.5k. With the level of wood, extra barrel, and add-ons for the one pictured comes out to about 12.5k.

Remington 1894 I just finished up making a new buttstock for.

The person dropped the gun and broke the wrist and trigger guard tang.

The new blank:


The end result. Had to weld the trigger guard back together and bent it for the straight grip/english grip altertation:

Been needing to tackle this project for a long time. This is Mark Miller's(roadgoeson20) and Father Clint Millers barrelled action I started with in school. Its been sitting for too long...it had something funny about it which took me a while to point out. Pushed the bottom metal in a considerable amount which made things look correct. Still have some shaping of the wrist and butt section.




Here's the stock before the alterations to show the difference:

We have been building a new gun to out line. Its basically our version of a Westley Richards detachable lock double. This particular one is in 28ga on a appropriate size action. We also plan to do 20ga and 12gs frame sizes that will also double as actions for double rifles.

Anyways here's the stock I recently inletted and shaped:

Got a little more done ths week. without trying to do any balancing work on the gun it balances perfect. Not much left to do before polishing, engraving, and coloring.
