Just helping a buddy out on this one. He just wanted it inletted, pad installed, and tip put on it. He's going to handle the rest. I think I gave him a pretty good start, it's just rough sanded. I left him extra wood at the grip cap area, it was'nt really talked about what kind of cap he was going with so I left him some room.

Looks good. Interesting treatment on the barrel. Is it a recontoured/fluted military? I'd like to see some better pictures of it.

That's what it appears to be. To tell you the truth I don't know much about the iron, he never said anything about it.

Great job. Are you looking to expand "your" buddy list ?

I guess I asked for that one! I'm everybody's buddy, it's a Kentucky thing I guess. If a man did'nt kill your dog or fondle your goat, well he's your buddy? This is a money job though, well kinda.

I was going to ask the same thing about the barrel. Never seen one done that way. In the closeup, it looks like there are only four really, really deep flutes. Might want to measure those and see how much wall thickness is left.

Thank's. It is duplicated from a pattern that was oversized, then worked by hand.

the photos look like they are out of focus.

Thats a wild looking barrel, from what I can see...
Did you say you had goats

Yeah my camera is kinda crappy. I think I may have goat DNA on my lens or somthing? Now don't take me serious about the goat thing guys just kiddin!

Is that the original military barrel, with flutes?

hello k-9 if you can, go by mr. crags house and take a few pics of my wood that is going on my 1922 m2 springfield. i think it is good enough to get a few nice comints . looking forward to thr finish project. D O M I T !

Next trip I might just do that. Kind of courious to see it myself.

That's pretty neat! different but tasteful. I like it.
