Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I met Bob at a local gunshow, he has a display of his fine work at this gunshow every year. I have a rare Swiss rifle stock, assulted by Bubba and I have wanted to get it repaired. (Right place , right time). I talked to Bob about this and he said "bring it over" and he would see what he could do about it. It is presently at his house getting worked on. Here is a pic of the start of the project...

Here are some picts of Bobs fine craftsmanship, he makes a stock by hand from a block of wood.

Tiger Maple...OMG!

Birdseye Maple...

I'll update the post as Bob progress's.
