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.

Ok, you asked. If you are that starved, I'll show pics.

Image
This is a Glenfield model 25 that I got from GB for $20. After Bubba lost the trigger guard, he tried to fit a model 60 guard in it's place.

Image
It was basically a barreled action with a stock. Bubba couldn't keep track of the stock screw either! I cleaned it up with 0000 wool and the bbl blue came out spotty, but no pitting.

Image
I found a stock from a Marlin .22 Mag. It was a near perfect match, the only fitting I needed to do was at the chamber. So I was forced to refinish it cuz I couldn't match Marlin's finish.

Image
I threw on a scope, just for effect and took some prelim pics. I still need stock screw, magazine guard, magazine guide and sights (old style front and rear).

If she shoots ok I'll make a squirrel sniper out of her.

You asked and there it is.

This was actually the third one that I did. The first was just smoothing out the brass on a flintlock kit rifle that I bought used. This coming summer I want to refinish the stock cuz the former owner never did a final fit of the brass to the stock. The finish itself is nice, but the brass looks like it was pressed into the wood. the first one I did was for a Winchester m270. I have before and after pics of that too.
