I finally got a gunstock here after it left the North East 25 days ago.

Its pretty grungy looking from all the soot then handling it but the barrel is now pinned, trigger mounted, lock and serpent plated are mounted and I cut the stock off as well.
After I pinned everything I pulled it up to my shoulder and found the length of pull was to long for me. I cut an 1 1/4" off and now its perfect for me.
Still work in progress.

I made a depth gauge out of some scrap aluminum. I have seen pictures of some pretty nice ones made out of brass and like them, just don’t want to pay for them!

Got lucky walking out of the shop, I stepped out within 4 inches of it and it didn’t strike or rattle.

We had a very cold weekend with rain on Saturday. Lows were 48 degrees. It’s 85 today. I’m at 3000ft, many I find are like this one, non confrontational. When our son was young and id find one I would try to make them rattle and strike but many just turned around and went the other way. Some are just plainly nasty.

Couldn’t shoot today, I had to take my sick dog to the vet. I am patiently waiting on a 20g Kibler Fowler, so what was I supposed to do? I just ordered a Kibler woods runner in 45cal. A great day after all!

For a happy bloke, that rat in your avatar looks pretty cranky! I do hope your dog improves 👍.

Cheers, Pete
