My York is finished!

Hi all. My rifle is done except for sighting in and coning the barrel. It has been a wonderful experience and thank you all for your help and encouragement.

Thanks,
Allen

If I didn't know any better, I would say that it must be your 3rd or 4th attempt. Very, very nice. :thumbsup:

FH , very nice work. I like the color, nice warm mellow look to it.Bet you can't wait to shoot it. Wait till you put a ball smack dab in the middle of the black, or harvest your first game animal( if you hunt ), that will really get your chest puffed up, and it should ... that's some mighty fine work you did. :thumbsup:

 

[agill]

Thank you everyone.

Yes, I can't wait to shoot and take it hunting!

It is humbling though. I didn't notice until looking at the pics that I forgot to engrave a line on the star.

I guess I could leave it that way. Might put the line in. What do you think?

Nice work FlintHunter !
You've set the bar high for the current class of first-timers.
How'd you end of fixing that little gap at the cheekside heel of the buttplate ?
Seemed to pretty much disappear, whatever ya did.
what's next for ya ?!?

Sliver of wood.

I cut a sliver and stained it and the butt. Glued it and put the buttplate on with a lttle pressure from the screws. Then sanded it to size.

The missing piece of wood was due to a chipout when I inletted the buttplate.

Thanks everyone for the comments--Allen
