PhilR Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Some better pics of the wood After lunch the blank was headed to the action and roughly shaped another fitting and a few marks for my hand and fingers and more shaping Stop me if your boared 😋 Is your stock blank the third row down and third in from the left?

shaun4860 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 That is a VERY nice bit of wood and some excellent craftsmanship Nice write up as well, Just a couple of questions 1 - You call it a Tulip forend, is that different to a schnabel forend? as they look similar, maybe a different name for the same? 2 - Do they really call that a pie?..... If anything it's sort of pastyish, what was the filling? Oh and I'm like you......a gun is for shooting, not for looking at no matter how nice the wood is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
