[mr.big]

it shoots pretty well also

 

[DaveB]

Wonder how a piece of aluminum would look. I mean, sized like a regular recoil pad but aluminum.

And yeah. That is some shootin'. I assume that's your Son pulling the trigger?

PS: I just went and put some folding stuff in my Lilja mayonaise jar.

 

[mr.big]

I have been thinking about making an aluminum buttplate at work and have the guys in anodizing polish it out and put a gold etch on it,,but I am gonna try to do it with a reddish cherry piece of wood,,

 

[DaveB]

Either way its going to look very cool.

Eric that is a thing of beauty. I love the maple.

 

[wsm]

Man it,s a shooter,

 

[BlountArrow]

Man, that's beautiful. What does a chunk of wood with that sort of character cost anyways?

 

[DaveB]

Once upon a time, I tried to get a tigerwood stock from a company in Missouri, now out of business, the name is selling plastic stocks. The price for a blank, this was over 20 years ago, was twice the price of a new rifle. Custom wood is quite expensive.

Fajen was the company

 

[mr.big]

might not be as high as you think,,google Don Stith gun stocks

 

[DaveB]

Those prices are reasonable.

 

[mr.big]

Those prices are reasonable.

yes but you have to figure in final inletting and bedding and finishing,,including the Accraglass and sandpaper and lacquer I only have about 350 in the stock but probably double that if I count my time like a gunsmith would,,
