I will find a way to get them to you

Yes! Fredi has one heck of a collection, holy smokes. His prices are higher than what I got from the retiring gunmaker, whose stocks are 30-35 years old and really truly dry, and which he had purchased for pennies on the dollar at this point. Also Yurttas is out there, and there is another...

Man, am I losing my marbles. I thhought I responded to the other guy. But I am enjoying your note here. Do you have the Ross Seyfried articles about the BSR?

This WTB was satisfied by The Gun Works https://thegunworks.com/ which has some of the original Purdey/Alex Henry English sporting rifle style steel pistol grip trigger guards. I bought two.

every one of these guns is personal to us. for some people that means having it made by an experienced builder to precise historic specifications, including only the stock wood used at that time. to other people, making their own gun using their own wood is as beautiful and perfect as a project...

Dougall made the Lockfast action and is a highly esteemed maker. If it is in safe working condition, this is a real find

I sure hope so! Hope my response was helpful to your own project

Shaw, i just bought three highly figured english walnut blanks that fit the shape of my current BSR. They are about 30-35 years old, pretty dry and stable now. Yes, they are expensive. For a once-in-a-lifetime custom rifle…why not. These come from a now retired custom gun maker out West. He does...

Thank you. Posting past my night night time is almost guaranteed to fail

WTB Really like and looking for the 2012 and older TOW steel British Sporting Rifle trigger guard/ grip. The new one is not up to par. If anyone has one and wants to let it go to a new home, I am an interested buyer. Thanks

very cool post

English walnut/ Circassian walnut/ Turkish walnut is the appropriate stock material, if one is staying true to the form and substance. I was reading Greener's book yesterday, and he talks only about "English" walnut being the proper wood for gunstocks, which he then breaks down into particular...

looking for 2012 or older British Sporting Rifle steel triggerguard

Really fantastic photos and descriptions, Dave. Thank you. I am interested in building / having built another British Sporting Rifle, in percussion this time. I share your frustration with the poor choices for appropriate grips. Track is selling something that bears poor resemblance to the one...
