All the metal work is in the creative hands of Scrollcutter. Here are a few pics of the stocks and metal before it went out.

Rusty- Very, very, very nice!! Your .404's are coming along nicely. I got a chance to drop off a fixer-upper with Tip day before yesterday. A really nice guy. This project is a Browning Safari in .264 Winnie. I'll post some before and after pictures when I get it further along. Congratulations!!! May the wind be in your face and the sun at your back. P.

They are loking great Rusty. You really need to bring yours to a "Bubba Shoot", after the first of the year. So that the "Band of Bubbas" can inspect it. Being that it is a big bore and a BOLT RIFLE. Do not forget to bring the ammo with it. Hog Killer IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Rusty, As one of your friends, I will gladly save you the horrible beating breaking in the rifle will entail and volunteer to take it for a year or three, shoot it every week and even tote it to Africa before turing it over fully experienced...someday.

Tip says it feeds great. I plan to go over and shoot it when we regulate the standing leaf. The wood is a piece of Black Walnut that I bought from Robert Watts at WATTS WALNUT I own three of his blanks. Price was great and quailty as you can see isn't bad for a trashy American Black Walnut Blank! John Valicek, stockmaker in Canyon Lake did the stock work. Rusty We Band of Brothers!

Great looking .404 I like that you have used a modern action and can run good speeds. That timber looks very pretty !! | |||

Forrest, I thought you new better...........I'm a dumb Okie.  You may be pulling my leg about where Watts tree's come from, but I do know we did have a fair amount of Walnut trees, but I didn't have a clue what kind or if they were stock grade or not, been gone a long time. Heck, I just discovered wood stocks a few yrs back............lol. Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||

Billy, it's true. Watts does get most of his black walnut from Oklahoma. Beautiful stuff too. NRA Life Member, Band of Bubbas Charter Member, PGCA, DRSS. Shoot & hunt with vintage classics. | |||

Really nice, Rusty. Love that Black Walnut! I's the best looking and best deal going around these days. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Tigger, Black walnut is much under rated, I have a piece being turned, hope to get it back in the next few weeks. Thanks for no comments on being a dumb okie...............but the dumb okie did get the check today.........  Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||

man that is nice. if i ever have another bolt gun built it'll be in that caliber and that configuration. perfect all round rifle imho.... DRSS | |||

Rusty, That wood shouldn"t be put on a piece of steel, it should be on canvas. Beautiful, beautiful, stock. Roger QSL | |||

Rusty, Thanks for sharing picts of your very nice .404J. I have a very similar piece of Am Black walnut set aside for mine too for the same reason - it is just beautiful to look at! Do continue to keep us posted on your progess. Regards, Jeff P | |||

Pardon me if I got confused. But does the stock have a cheekpiece on both the right hand and on the left hand side? | |||
|
| one of us |
I think he's having a right and a left handed gun built. Two 404s, but I dis-remember why. "There always seems to be a big market for making the clear, complex." | |||

One is for a friend of his. How's that for friendship. | |||

one of us |
nice gun - those are definitely 2 different stocks - different paterns and colours - you can see righthand stock under lefthand stock on lover pic - correct me if I am wrong - I prefere the wood on the rightside | |||
|
| One of Us |
Dan, Yes, there are two of them. | |||
|
| One of Us |
OK, that makes a lot more sense. A stock with a cheekpiece on both sides seemed bizarre, but possible of course! | |||

Actually, it could have been a special double stocked custom rifle for one of Jeffe's AR rounds shooting special Hawk bullets.  Sorry guys I couldn't resist! Rusty We Band of Brothers!

Anyways, they look great, and your latest gunsmith is very talented. I am sure your friend will appreciate it. "There always seems to be a big market for making the clear, complex." | |||
