Number 28

Here's a few pics of a work in progress, it's a dainty little halfstock rifle I'm working on.

It's a 32, 3/4 inch across the flats barrel that I picked up at Log Cabin.

The trigger guard is from an old original that Olie gave me. The patchbox I found at an OGCA show and is original (never installed).

The trigger is a real nifty piece: single set trigger I bought form Golden Age Arms years ago. It's basically a spring loaded lever. It's so simple....I'll have to remove it and show what it looks like.

I have yet to do inlays on the cheek piece side, and I have to install the under rib, sights and thimbles...then she's ready for a test.

This shows the inlay on the forarm portion a bit better.

if you got rid of the golf clubs in the background you'd have more room for rifles! looks like a few mausers on the rack. hey, looks like my basement. :shake:

nice looking inlays, i'm tempted to take x-acto in hand and give it a try. i think i'll stop at the cabin and pick an easy shape to start with.

Looks good. What for cap on the forearm?. I was wandering what happen to you, I guess this explains it . Keep up the good work. My Grandson, the one with me at Great Trails got a young doe with a 150 yr old 11.ga double from Log Cabin. Shot it 70yrds right through the heart. He going to be a Dilly. Boardilly ( I got a 7pt )

That's a Turk...needs a triggerguard assembly. Yep, I do have a Swede, got a CZ, a Yugo Mauser, a Russian SKS, a bunch of Mosin's, and piles of SMLE's (one has the volley sights intact!) and one SMLE that needs a forstock that has the magazine cut-off on it.

If I had that much room guess I'd try to build something that nice too.

Blahman: Nice project rifle. Please keep posting as you complete it, as it is always instructive to see someone with obvious talent at work. As one of the other guys said, glad to see you back.
(And I like your golf clubs, too, especially the K-31s ...)

OK, so when are we going? Olie lives not too far from there, heck, he can ride his scooter there!

This is the guy who I watch tuneing a lock, now he don't waste any time with a mainspring vise, he tool is a pair of chanelock pliers. He had the spring in out in a jiffty. He don't waste any time, he goes at a run. Nice to the talent. Dilly

Thanks! Those clubs belong to my son, currently serving our fine country in Iraq. I keep 'em close to my bench so when I'm working on them I can look over and remember his smiling face!
