Dressing up a Blue Ridge rifle

[Gene L]

I may have posted this before, but I don't think so. About 22 years ago I bought a Cabela's BR rifle made I believe by Pedersoli. It had brass furniture on it. I somehow broke the tab holding the front part of the trigger guard on, can't remember how, so I decided to replace the brass with iron. This was about 16 years ago, and I didn't have the tools to do it right. I got the TN guard and buttplate from Dixie and did the best I could. Anyway here's the result. Oh it shoots great and very accurately.

Very unique look....I like it. Gives your rifle a character all of its own.

 

[Robert Marshall]

I've always liked the iron look. That is a good looking rifle.

I like the look as well, if you inlet that guard into the wood so just a little of the returns are showing it will look much better.

 

[Gene L]

Yeah, I know. The original wasn't inlet and I didn't have the tools or knowledge on how to do it back then.
