The Phase 2 class is almost booked. BTW: this may be the final year offering this program as it throws the rest of my scheduling out of whack. sdh@finegunmaking.com for more info Inletting skeleton grip cap  Stock layout  #1 Stock inletted  ACGG Life Member, since 1985 | |||

I believe we have the 4 student Max for the Phase 2 Stock Shaping. Phase 1 Inletting still has room, will have much lecture and demonstration and several custom rifle examples by a few top makers to examine inside and out. Benchwork will focus on Inletting from a pre-machined stock, Single shot, bolt action, some shotgun. All projects must be instructor approved so you can expect professional results. Forging, filing, hardening, tempering and sharpening a scraper and chisel from tool steel. Firm dates in September are still open to convenience... Let me know if you are interested, this is a golden opportunity for the right guys...

I was really hoping to make a return trip to Montana this year after attending the 2013 September seminar, but unfortunately won't be able to. It was my first seminar on stockmaking/gunmaking and a great experience. If you are thinking about going, all I can say is do it.

In the first photo in Evan's post we are inspecting the inletting of a Jerry Fisher M-70. A major part of the Seminar experience is learning to recognize and emulate high quality custom gunmaking. Evan's own M-70 is finished and he shot a whitetail with it last fall. There is nothing like the experience of hunting with a fine custom rifle, one that you made yourself is on another level of enjoyment. ACGG Life Member, since 1985 | |||

We'll need to do an update photo on that #1 project! Highly recommend these classes to anyone interested. It's time & money well spent! | |||

Bring the #1 along in June, Lee, I'll shoot some studio pics. I figure you will have some pics with dead animals in the fall… The ebony block with Nick's name on it is on your workbench. ACGG Life Member, since 1985 | |||

Glad to see some youngsters in there! We need a continuous pipeline of craftsmen.
