You really nailed the Lehigh architecture.... especially from the breech to the start of the comb. If this area isn't "right" the entire rifle is wrong. How did you arrive at the profile and where did the TG and BP come from? I've had a complete set of Lehigh parts sitting around for 3 yrs and still don't know if I want to attempt one. Also any details on the lock? Again....a masterful job....Fred

That is a great job, Chris. I have handled a coupla original Lehighs, and like you said, they feel weird compared to a "normal" stock.

IMHO,you captured the essence of the Lehigh.
God bless

The triggerguard is the "K5" triggerguard. You can make durn near anything out of it. The buttplate is from Reeves Goehring.

"how did you arrive at the profile?"...with difficulty. Lots of figuring, studying, thinking, and worrying. I came up with the only way I could think of to make it work. The wrist is very diamond shaped. I know that it is supposed to be. It is the only way to make the wrist to comb transition when there is no "scoop" or crease at the nose of the comb. The Neihardt guns I have seen (in photos only) show no crease here whatsoever. It's very different, for sure.
