now that is one fine rifle! it's lines remind me of a Ferrari! every thing flows with an elegant simplicity!
really nice. did i mention i like it?
 
an oldie but ,to me, a goody. .40 and a dream to shoot, I used red maple and a bit soft, but that's what I had at the time, it was a bear to carve and shows all the little dents and dings of a well used rifle, I call them character flaws, Hah!

very clean and honest. Proves one doesn't need magnificent wood to make a magnificent rifle
 
Thank you Gents for the kind words, didnt think my plain jane would be liked around all this beautiful gussied up rifles.
When I was ad DGW they told me the reason no plain janes are around today is because they were passed on until they fell apart. In the 70s when the big revival happened only fancy guns were around to copy. So thats what the companies did.
I build this plain jane for the sole purpose to pass it on to my grandboy.
Besides Im not good enough to make anything else.
