Duane Wiebe (CG&R)The engraving was done by Scrollutter..There's not much, but he burned up a lot of time on stippling the full length rib.
The barrels wee machined by Lothar Walther..had to build up the front ramps by 1/4" for a reasonable front blade.
I bed the stocks like a normal half stock, then make the remaining barrel as close to free floating as possible with out a gap.
The well seasoned blanks were furnished by Vardy.
Bottom metal,grip cap, buttplate and bolt handle are all Wiebe...End cap was fabricated (real pain), fastened securely to the wood, but expansion and contraction room is provided via the barrel hanger

Duane Wiebe (CG&R)Metal thingy attached to the barrel near the muzzle...Happy to oblige with a better word???

lindy2Does that 2019 signify that this is the 2,019th stock that you have made or that it was made in year 2019

Duane Wiebe (CG&R)Yes, the cap hanger, cap attachment, cap floating device... what ever you want to call it.
